          Aerotwin wipers are the BEST.... no doubt about that... and it looks GOOD...

          These A6 '03 wil fit a Left Hand Drive car. Just need to cut ~5cm off the right blade.

          For Right Hand Drive cars you can buy them at http://vagparts.co.uk/. They have a complete set for 61,72 GBP windshield, and 14,59 GBP rear. All will fit right on.

                        i have both the front and back.
                        front A6 arms with audi wipers and also found some bosch to replace them when they go bad and they need no cutting or adjusting as the A6 audi ones are a bit tricky to fit.
                        For the rear,i got the kit from ebay and due to a lousy fitment of my rear wing,it turns out the wipers hits it whens passes by there but i modified that too and everything works great.
                        No lift offs on aeros whatsoever and very good working even at 70miles/hour

                          Well, nothing is really a real must, but if you like your screen to be wiped without stripes, you don't like the click-clack noice, you want your blades to stay on the screen at any speed and you want a nice look on your car, then it is a must..... But change the arms as well.....

                            Well then, I'd better try a kit then.

                            Sorry for the thread hijack epic!

                            @ Papvas: you recomend the a6 arms and which Boch wipers? the ones for the a6? Did you get them off the 'bay?

                              the bosch wipers i dont remember their model.i had them checked over the audi units for their length at a car shop place.I bet that if you get the kit with the A6 wipers it would be wiser to find the bosch wipers yourself rather than the internet so you can figure out the lengths on the spot.
                              I doubt that the wipers have any specs on them,but i can look tomorrow morning and get back to you...
