Hi

I just fitted these to my 3200

http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/produc...ersal-retrofit-flat-aeroblade-21-inch-wb5-21/

Bargain price and just as good quality as the bosch ones. I think I fitted 21" to both sides,
but I can run to the garage and check as the packaging is still on the shelf.

Also run a lot quieter.

Highly recommended

Cheers

Lee

Good to get exact details and how they work under duress!

I have used them on a private road at speeds around that!!!! And they hugged the screen like a good un!!!

I will run outside and check what sizes I fitted.

Good man...appreciate that......!

I know this has been discussed before as to the juddering effect of the Masers wipers....but if the wipers are smooth flowing over the screen it will reduce likelihood of wiper motor failure?

The blade sizes, fitting same for the 4200???

Hi

Right back from the garage, any excuse to have a peek at those boomerang lights though!!!

I fitted these

http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/produc...versal-retrofit-flat-aeroblade-2-inch-wb5-22/

They are the 22" blade and clear really well. The passenger one does sit off the screen a little right at its furthest
reach when in the parked position, but once you start moving it sits flush against the screen.

They are heaps better than the standard wipers quieter, clear better and look fine.

Hope that helps and at £6.85 plus p&p each they are a bargain.

had an hour to kill waitng for MOT on daughter's car yesterday.

Kwik-Fit do brake pads and disks replacement, with lifetime guarantee. Just keep going back and they will fit new pads and disks as required.

Price for front and rear pads fitted on my 2001 3200 GT £220.25. Will pick up the physical quote on the way home.

Must be 2 hours labour (~£100) + pads (£70 forum price from BB) = £170.

I do my own pads and disks, but reckon it's worth a go if you need new pads in cold a nasty weather.

If you lose all the keys to your 3200GT including the red key and need one programmed send a new key & your ecu to this company who will create a new red key for you for £120:

What are there terms, sounds too good to be true.

 

[Parisien]

...only applies to pads..............if they fit them, will replace as and when they wear out for free

[Easyplan66]

still not a bad deal

 

[philw696]

Sorry and not wanting to cause controversy but i woul'nt let any of the Fast Fits any where near a high performance car.
Stick with the trusted specialists and proper motor engineers.
Phil.

 

[Easyplan66]

I agree phil even if it is a great deal, would not let them go anywhere near my car.

 

[philw696]

Im a firm believer that if it sounds too good to be true it usually is.
