Default Help I am confused!

I almost feel embarassed to ask but here it goes...

I need new wiper blades (front and rear), I have just searched online and got SO confused. There was too much choice!

I just want regular OEM ones, nothing fancy. If you can find what I am after (gen 1, 01-06) please post here and I will be eternally grateful!

Otherwise it'll be a trip to the dealers...

and for front standard blades MINI BMW BOSCH WIPER BLADES NEW 18/19" PAIR FRONT on eBay (end time 11-Jul-10 16:40:09 BST)

or if you want the aero ones BMW MINI COOPER 01-06 WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADES 19"18A on eBay (end time 20-Jun-10 12:05:32 BST)

Just get them from the dealers, they aren't that expensive at all...

I got a pair of Bosch normal wipers from Halfords 2 weeks ago for about £8
They have a little booklet there and you just look up yer car and it'll give you the numbers of the wipers you require either Bosch or halfords or Aero ones mate

Cheers guys for pointing me in the right direction. I take it there isn't much in it price-wise between the web and dealers?

+1. Its what I did last time - had a set of aero wipers which were very cheap but were pretty crap... OEM ones look alot better IMO....

I am boring and just want the OEM, not so keen on the Aero look. I think it'd look a bit naff on my car!

I pass a MINI dealers on my way home so will call in or just pop to Halfords.

Cheers all
