Hi,

I am in need of a full set of 185 wiper blades, but the screw ones seem pricy from Mr T.

Was thinking if fitting some of these, but look a bit ugly to me :?: but allows standard wipers to be fitted from most manufacturers.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... ink:top:en

So, what do you 185 owners have fitted.

Thanks for any feedback.

Cheers

Facelift versions of the T18 doesen´t have the srewed type wiper blades. If You ca pick up some cheap wiper arms of a late spec T18 You can use the more popular cliped type wiper blades without this urgly looking adapters.

Ugly adapters? You won't even notice them as they are only a few cm small?
I bought universal Denso ones btw for my cars, which come with these adapters as well. Combined with a waxed windshield I can't complain!

Adapters are only on my WRC P8 Eric, but look very sleek and not in yo face ugly.

I am just de-rusting my wiper arms, and noticed the original blades are offset anyway, and similar to the adaptors to hook I posted in the link.

Obviously I did not take a close look at the original ones on the car.

Back to Ebay I guess, they will probably be fine :D

Thanks for your comments and advice :D
