[alfatwo]

I bought a pair of Bosch wiper blades this afternoon for the 3200,they didn't fit,I didn't realise you coulden't remove the aerofoil part from the old blades..
Iv'e also seen these retro fit modern flat blades for sale on eBay

I've just bought a set of the flat blades off eBay, waiting for delivery. Will let you know if they are any good or any issues.

Bosch make the spoiler blades still alongside the conventional ones. My local factors keep them.

Bought some of these post recommendations on here. Used to avoid OEM wipers as they were always rubbish. These, however, we *so* cheap.
I'm amazed how good they are. I bought some for Mrs Catman's 147 as well. Thoroughly recommended.

Yes , bought gm refills from my local vauxhall dealer , then I opened the holders on my bosch ones , slid the old rubber out and new ones in .Think it cost about a fiver and retain the original looks.

Those are the ones I ordered, so if C-man says they are good, don't wait for my recommendation!

Not had any problem up to illegal speeds, on private roads, of course.

Spoilers??

 

[CatmanV2]

Spoilers??

Not really, the entire profile is aerodynamically shaped.

Unless you think I'm River Song?

I ended up fitting a pair of Porsche wiper blades from Eurocar parts £20 the pair....
The aerofoil on the blades are more discreet.... it dosent look like a clumsy plank crossing your line of sight in the rain like the old 3200 wipers used to!

Looking for some for the 3200 as they clunk at the top of the window.

Alfa do you have a link for the ones you went with?

Thanks

I bought some exactly like that in China. In fact only the length matters (if memory serves 22" - 55cm). They fit perfectly and work great.

These can be bought in Tesco's believe it or not, I did on my last GS.

They work fine but dont clear tax disc area just right on the tip of the blade, the curve of the glass is just too much for them but its very minor and does not affect the drivers vision in the slightest

Ok, you need to take them apart and change the spoiler round as they will be upside down and actually lift the blades, not force them down, its easy to do though.
