Talking New flat style wiper blades for the Cento

many of you may have noticed the new style wiper blades fitted to many cars now such as VW/Audi and the new GP.

These are no w available aftermarket to fit older style wiper arms from here http://www.1stautobulbs.com/classic-...flatblades.php including Cento fitment.

There are Valeo XTRM blades as well from here but you have to phone for part numbers http://www.speeding.co.uk/acatalog/V...er_Blades.html

Re: New flat style wiper blades for the Cento

I soooo want some, and just when i need some new blades too, but there is some contradiction on that site....

Please note these wiper blades cannot be retro-fitted so the blades on your car must already be of this type in order for them to fit correctly.
and

Universal Clip designed to fit most vehicles. Changing your wiper blades has never been so simple.

Re: New flat style wiper blades for the Cento

I found mine on ebay... if you search aero blades or something like that. They dont always specify fiat, but will say universal, and you just say what lengths you need...

Re: New flat style wiper blades for the Cento

On the first site i posted you can put your car details in and it comes up with the blades, http://www.1stautobulbs.com/part.php...variant_id=139

If you buy the pair postage is free and you get a free gift from a choice of blue sidelights, tyre pressure gauge and something else that I have forgotten.

Re: New flat style wiper blades for the Cento

good find that, should help with the annoying washer jets hitting wiper blades issue i have found on the Sei, its either hitting the blade or going so high you don't clean the whole screen..

For anyone wondering i just looked and a pair of 19" (same as cento's )blades costs £11

I have this problem too. You adjust them so they are just right but at motorway speeds the water is flung back underneath the wiper arms, hopefully these new ones will cure that problem.

Thats exactly what i mean, been thinking about getting 2 twin jets off a punto but that'll have to wait as its a very long way down the to do list. Suspension, brakes etc are far more important that seeing where i'm goning lol
