jub Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hi guys, My front wipers need changing due to corrosion (the whole set) and the rear blade needs changing. Thought I'd use the opportunity to look at other options possibly. I've heard that the PIAA ones are pretty good, anyone got them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattMe Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Ayup. Search is quite useful for queries like this, but: viewtopic.php?f=64&t=35434 Is a recent discussion on it. I personally use the Bosch Areotwin wipers and am really pleased with them so far. Don't skimp on them is the general opinion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfoster Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I think I had PIAA ones on the my old dc5 integra, made a hell of a difference, but very dear. Might be worth settling for the Bosch ones.

Chilli Red Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I have PIAA in stock. Let me know if you want some. Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bockaaarck Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 i have PIAA on mine and won't be using anything else on any of my other cars +1 Bought my first set of PIAA blades recently and I have been very impressed with them, worth the money in my view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narcotix Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I've got the Aero wipers all round on my Zed and think they're Brilliant .. I've not tried th PIAA ones so can't compare to those but they do a great job and look very cool too ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bockaaarck Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 how much are the PIAA blades I think I paid about £55-£60 for the two front and a rear blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alessandro Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 how much are the PIAA blades I think I paid about £55-£60 for the two front and a rear blade. Which it does sound expencive but the difference it's amazing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattMe Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Really? Over-double-the-price-amazing? The AeroTwins I have remove water from my windscreen - can't get much more amazing than that in the world of wipers, as far as I'm concerned! Seriously though, I've had bad na daverage wipers before but I'd say the Aeros are the best I've had. Not tried the PIAA so I could be missing out on a whole world of water free windscreen motoring (as well as £30)... I personally think the Aero wipers look a lot better too. Less fussy.

Less fussy. they are so good i don't even need to use them. when combined with the PIAA fluids i only tend to use the wipers when doing less than 40 mph, after that the water just falls off in tiny beads. so i don't even have to wipe. usually in heavy rain i wipe the screen once every 5 minutes. where most normal cars are doing it twice a second.

But isn't that more to do with the fluid you've put on the screen (and can buy seperately) rather than the wipers themselves? I don't know, but that's what I'd imagine. Does sound good though!

I don't know, but that's what I'd imagine. Does sound good though! the wipers auotmatically put down a layer of silicon on the screen the fluids help. i used to use just rainex, it was good, but nothing compared to the combination of PIAA with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jub Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 I've decided to go for the Bosch for now, and then in Autumn (when more rain is expected, then again you never know with this country) I'll upgrade to the PIAA. I'm looking around on eBay and seeing some listings tagged with ' 20" ', all the blade lengths should be the same right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BACON Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 18" on front passenger arm, 20" on driver arm and 20" on the rear arm I believe!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilli Red Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 18, 20 front and 18 rear, just double checked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jub Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 18" on front passenger arm, 20" on driver arm and 20" on the rear arm I believe!!! Cheers man, nice one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350ash Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 18" on front passenger arm, 20" on driver arm and 20" on the rear arm I believe!!! I think it should actually be 20" on the drivers side, 18" on the passenger side and 18" on the rear. I ordered a full set of blades from Sarah (Chilli Red) and that's what arrived and they fit.

Chilli Red Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 You should have a 20 on the drivers and an 18 on the passenger and a 18 on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
