A pair of decent 20" blades is what you need

Has anybody tried the Aero VU modern-looking ones you find on ebay (or any other modern aero type blades).
Are they any good and do they look ok on the E30?

Sorry to hijack post but it is on topic!...
Does anybody know of a car that was fitted with the water jets in the wiper arms (that I am likely to find in the breakers)?
Reason being I am fitting a new fibreglass bonnet that will not hinge and need to be completely removed to open prohibiting me from fitting the water jets to the bonnet.
Cheers

The feed to your water jets is very basic plumbing indeed. Can't u just fit them to ur new bonnet and unplug when the bonnet is removed?

I have the aero blades ...both the cheap onesfrom Ebay which are OK and the trico innovisions (the group buy) which are excellent...a cheap way to attach the jets to the wiper arms is the fiat coupe nozzle ..they clip to the arms and spray 4 jets..they do tend to get blocked if your water is not totally clean though

Just fitted the ones off eBay I listed above.
Seems like a really good kit for the money although time will tell on the performance.
The kit comes with grommets, tubing, cable ties and plastic joiners which fit nicely to the standard plumbing.
