Aside from purchasing from AML direct (which is a bit of a nuisance for me), could anybody suggest where I could find replacement wiper blades for my V12 Vantage? I had a look for a set of Bosch's at Halfords but couldn't find any.
Many thanks,
How are you getting on with the car controlz?Many thanks,

Err, measure them, go to any motor factors including Halfords, select the Bosch ones of the same length.Many thanks,
Do we actually have a definite answer on what wiper blades/rubbers actually fit? There is so much conflicting information on PH regarding this.
The retaining clip is a different size.They weren't the last time I bought them

They work fine. Wiper blde is a wiper blade. Most cars theese days have the U bend on the end of the arm so can take any replacment blade. Shop wasn't selling them with the spoiler for the drivers side. The photo with it on is the before picture.
The only thing that doesn't work well are the flat / aeroblades. Other people have tried them and found the spring on the wiper arms aren't strong enough to keep them firmly on the screen.

Do you mean the aeroblades as in the ones I've just bought?

Old topic but Neil1300r or any one else - do you have the (Bosch) part number for the replacement blades for a 2012 V12V? Halfords are saying the 2012s have a different fitment that they don't carry (which seems confirmed by Amazon - see picture). Main dealer quoting £58 for the pair.The only thing that doesn't work well are the flat / aeroblades.

No idea. You could try putting your VIN number in here:-Edited by 12pack on Friday 29th April 10:17

NWell my V12V blades certainly don't look like any of those above. I guess I'll head to the dealer to pick up AM parts ("guaranteed to work at 200 mph" 
)
Those are the later type, earlier cars won't accept the Aerotwin style and still clean glass! You just use the off-the-shelf ones. )Gassing Station | Aston Martin | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
