R8 - Wiper blades

[Hughesie]

Anyone know the size and model number for an Audi R8 V10 Spyder wiper blades ?

Halfrauds (shudder) don't have them listed, nor can i find anything (but that might be my googling skills) on line either ?

Cheers in advance

I'd be intersted to know the answer too as my car needs wiper blades too

Strange that nobody seems to stock them as they just look like ordinary wiper blades to me....

somebody is selling the Audi branded ones (a pair) on eBay for about £45 plus a tenner delivery from the continent.

To me they look like an exact fit type with a very specific adapter so I think if you want the wipers to sit right on the car and Bosch don't sell them, it's the only option.

£60 a pair from audi

I think that's the only way ......unless someone can suggest aN alternative

Really can't see why they are such a special fit, they just look like ordinary blades to me

They are just wiper blades but if you want your wipers to sit between the wiper arm and screen in as neat a fashion as possible, you need wipers that are made to exactly that specification. My guess is the Audi dealers are the only people doing them.

You could get aero wipers with the same adapter type in a slightly different position but they wouldn't sit neatly and may foul the bonnet in the worst case scenario.

Had to cough up the £60.00 for a pair from Audi in the end !
