Do a search on google for VAG wiper arms, and you should have all the info you need - eg: http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?im...3D10%26hl%3Den

I use these, work really well, and since they are spineless, they have better contact with the windscreen's curvature

Go to Ford Mat, dont you remember me posting up asking about wipers? 
And all i had was ridiculous replies 
They have about three diffrent types listed, so i ordered all three to see which were the best
Think i went for the motorcraft ones which have little spoilers bonded on both

I use Valeo new style flat ones (VAG alike) with fittings to traditional arms. You can buy them anywhere ihere in Poland so I am sure they are available in the UK.

The do look strange when you look out the wind screen, as they allow more visibility, but the hump is bigger (as you can see in that photo).
I can't show you photos, as my car is at it's other home being made ready for ND / Ring.
I have yet to try them out either....

I was going to take a set of Esc cos ones to fords and see If any of the current models match up (IE New Aero style blades and arms) then no need for welding etc AND shouldnt look out of place.

Anybody else's wiper blades & scratching their windscreens or is it just me? & yes, I do mean the rubber bits, alarmingly.
I have standard Bosch replacement wiper blades on standard arms, albeit in LHD.
