DrMatt Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 So during the first rainy day since getting my Z I noticed my rear wiper was made out of a spatula. I ordered a replacement Bocsh aerotwin from wiperblades.co.uk. (I got the cheapest delivery and they still arrived in 2 days). Here is a little comparison between the standard wiper blade and the bosch aerotwin one. After buying this one I noticed Tesco do there own version for half the price which looks almost identical for half the price. (I may have to do a sideby side comparison of those when I replace the front ones.) Installation was a total of 15 seconds plus 1 minute to get into the packaging. I think it looks pretty good as a replacement. Now, typically, there has not been a single drop of rain since buying them so I have not had chance to see them work, but at least it looks nice. On a side note whilst cleaning my engine bay, I note my "completely standard" Zed has what looks to be a grounding kit an a K&N panel filter fitted by one of the previous owners, plus looking through the service history it has the clutch done already which I wasn't expecting (only the fitting receipt not the type of clutch kit so unsure if flywheel changed at same time). I may have to hunt for other changes now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arran Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Delete the rear wiper for a much cleaner look. Nice to see a red Z, I reckon a set of rays and Eibach spacers would set this off lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMatt Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Here is a repost of the pics from my welcome thread. I was tempted by deleting the rear wiper but given the amount of seagull excrement I have had land on my rear window in 1 week of ownership I can see a practical benefit of it at the moment. As for Rays, I really like them but I could get these refurbed in the colour that I want for the same price or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Sell those for a set of rays, they are so much nicer. Never been a fan of those on a Z, winter or track wheels maybe but they don't look 'special' enough for me imo Wheels and spacers with a couple other minor touches would make this stand out and look great, never seen a red one personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels and low to set it apart then play with the big toys. Lovely car mate. Perfect colour too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
