It would be courteous if at the very least you had an acknowledgment. It's quite a prudent question too, no use having blingy carbon effect wipers if the coating comes off if you lift the wipers.

Latest update from Hydrotek and will edit first post also...

the finish will not crack when the wipers are lifted.

The guys don't have time to test the suggested comments on the hatch so wipers will only be available for pre hatch models now.

sorry for any inconvenience guys

That pic I posted was from an ebay item, not to be confused with the ones from the GB. I just posted it to show how they look so I don't think there is a logo on these.

Hope that clears up the confusion

Hi Jamie, the response I got from hydrotek is that the wipers will be whichever came off the year of car, so if yours have a dogleg wiper then yes that is what you will get when you specify your year/model.

the turn around is between a week to 2 weeks

So it's £60 just to dip 2 wiper arms?

Without being rude the quality doesn't even look that good, and it seems expensive just for dipping 2 arms?

No problem mate, the cut off date is the 25th but if numbers are good beforehand I can give the hydrotek guys plenty of notice to get cracked on and ready to ship

Prices include P&P Yodi, these are quality products and have seen their work. personally I don't think it's an easy task as have seen friends try and fail several times. but personal choice mate
