Flat blades don't lift off the windscreen so much on motorway speeds. A lot of members noticed a difference with them in the last group buy I did.

JaffaTB · 13-06-2009, 04:16 PM

already got some, but they are a load better than normal ones

**porter_89** · 14-06-2009, 01:10 PM

will these fit the mk4 astra??

cheers

Steve · 14-06-2009, 05:51 PM

I can get some for them if guy stocks them and is willing to include them in group buy - want me too find out?

Looking it over I think we are better off with the ones at £8.50.

The guy seems a bit friendlier, and also does other things such as bulbs etc and has said he will be happy to do group buys on them anytime as well. Things like headlight bulbs, sidelights etc.

Hope everyone is ok with this and I'll start PM'ing you details tonight.

Just a heads up to anyone not in this group buy... Tescos are selling flat blades at £3 each. I bought some, they seem to work as expected. Not much I can say about wiper blades, except they look weird because theyre a different shape compared to normal ones. Work a bit better though

Steve · 20-06-2009, 11:27 PM

I'm aware of the tesco one's but prices vary in Tesco across UK from what i've heard on various forums.

Also the idea is to support this company i'm getting them through as they do other items such as headlight bulbs, sidelight bulbs etc which they are willing to do group buys on and because people were wanting to see more group buys on here, it makes sense to use a company willing to do it for other items.

Steve · 21-06-2009, 09:23 PM
