   Hey its probably been posted before but wanted to know what you guys thought on flat wipers? Alot of people are sticking them on there cars just to give the car abit of a updated look.
   
   I kind of like them and considering buying a pair and spraying the old wiper arms and fitting them this week. They obviously look new and fresh but its a old model and wanted to know if they clear the glass as well as the "standard" ones before I go ahead and buy some. Cheers!

   Lots of people rate them.. have a look at dannyjays and Skorpions progress threads.. they are meant to clear the window a lot better than standard..
   
   When i replaced my wipers i just bought standard ones... im not actually sure about the look of the retro flat wipers to be honest...

   I had them on my old corsa C and loved them. They do a top job and make motorway driving quieter due to less wind noise

   Yeh retro are the ones to get I looked at them all then overweighed price with the rating the seller had and just looked at the pictures. I ended up buying from a mid price seller which seems to be good.
   
   Link for anyone who wants to buy some of these babys...

    Only get them if you need new wipers, otherwise don't bother spend it on something else
