As in a retro fit blade - or custom set-up?
I was always tempted, but I don't like the look of the retro fit ones as they sit the arm up too high and have a big 'block' of plastic that looks out of place.
I looked at various options for a custom job but it was gonna be a case of metal work to join the mk1 arm to the doner, and I had other things higher up the list.
BTW - I looked at so many, the best match I came up with was a rear (fronts always seemed too chuncky for my eye) focus arm and blade - but that was orientated wrongly for RHD...

Just the blades, gonna keep the std arms, put Lupo GTI arms and blades on my Corrado and it was a great mode, although your right, gotta keep the Rocco looking retro...

i've used the tesco own aero blades that will fit anything. better screen clearing waaaaaaaaaaaay outweighs the annoying block where they clip on

+1 I have used those, they are cheap & cheeful, I thought mine worked better than a traditional 'frame' wiper blade

i put some on my van when i bought it 18 months ago, and have just replaced them when it was serviced at the beginning of jan as they were just starting to get a bit smeary. i don't think that's bad value for money, particularly as i bought them when they were on offer at £6 a pair
