Default PIAA Super Silicone Wiper Blades (AS Performance)

Hey all...

I missed the last group buy on these (by Frayz) so I thought I'd contact AS Performance and get me a set. Whilst on the phone to David, I did ask about setting up another Groupbuy for us Scoobynet lot. David (having spoken to Alyn) offered a groupbuy if we could get at least 12 people in....

At the moment... I just need people to let me know if they'd be interested in buying. David did state he'd be happy to give us the same price as before which was 17.5% off RRP. Once I get 12 definite people interested, I'll give David/Alyn another call to confirm and we're away....
Oh, and last time, I think Frayz managed 25 which bumped up the discount to 20%.... can't promise the same but I will try.....

Some blub from Frayz' previous thread..........

----------------------------------------------------------------

I'm just in the process of sorting out prices with Alyn @ AS Perfromance for "Genuine" PIAA wiperblades. These will be for both Classic and Newage impreza's.

Alyn is a very respected trader here on Scoobynet and have only ever had great service from him and his team. So expect nothing less on this GB.

SUPER SILICONE WIPER
Mary Anderson first decided that automobiles could use a wiper blade when she saw motorists emerging from their vehicles to clean their windshields by hand. It was November, 1903. Her spring-loaded wiper arm was patented in 1905, then replaced by a mechanical arm in 1913. Since then, the wiper blade has pretty much remained the same.
Until today.........

Now, for the first time ever, PlAA offers a new clarity of vision - the Super Silicone Wiper Blade. From the initial design process to extensive laboratory testing under the harshest conditions, this blade outperforms every other blade currently on the market:

* The Super Silicone Wiper Blade secures a wider field of vision in inclement weather, ensuring greater visibility.
* The Super Silicone Wiper Blade offers better resistance to all climates - heat, ozone, ultra-violet, and wear - clearly outperforming the industry standard.
* Super Silicone coating elimates squeak and reduces drag, regardless of the shape of the windshield, providing greater comfort for both driver and passenger.
* The Super Silicone Wiper Blade maintains a sharp, clean edge, even after 230,000 operations.As you can see, PIAA has engineered unparalleled effectiveness and streamlined operation into every blade - qualities that ensure superior performance.

That's what PIAA does. For decades, we've been the acknowledged leader in innovative automotive accessories. With our visionary design, inspired engineering, and quality components, it may be another century before wiper blades improve again. Don't wait. Those who know, drive PIAA.

Pricing as Follows,

Alyn has sorted us a 17.5% discount on all wipers

Std black wipers are £16.99inc. at RRP - GB Price £14.00

Std carbon wipers are £19.99inc. at RRP - GB Price £16.50

Curved black wipers are £18.99inc. (only done in black and unusual fitment) - GB Price £15.50

Spoilered black wipers are £21.99inc. at RRP - £18.15

Spoilered carbon wipers are £24.99inc at RRP - £20.50


Postage would be £5inc. for special delivery direct on a pair

Please add your names to the list.... for now and I'll contact AS Performance when we get 12 definites.

Question

Anyone tried the 'curved' wipers..?

Been using a std set of PIAA's for the last 4 yrs and they're still going strong, just thinking of buying a spare set and fancy the spoiler ones, just wondered what the 'curved' are like..?

Any idea how long they normally last..? If mine still have a few years in them then I may as well wait..

BTW there's an NF group buy via ASP (Alyn.. ), which also another great deal.. You may even save a bit on P&P going for both..?

Right... quick update.... Just spoke to Alyn and he's clarified a few points.

1. The wiper prices are per blade... there was some confusion over this last time with some people expecting these to be sets.... Alyn asked me to just clarify this point again.

2. The discount is basically VAT free (17.5% off) if we can get at least 12 blades sold (or 6 pairs).

3. If you're looking for more than one pair, please add your name to the list twice (etc.)

4. Alyn can (and is willing to) order blades for other makes of vehicle, as long as PIAA make them and you're happy to wait a little longer) [<-----Skoobie Dhu]. Again put your name on the list and as soon as we hit twelve, give Alyn a call.

5. Postage (unfortunately) is £6.50 due to the weight of these blades. This was misquoted in the last GB but Alyn absorbed the cost. No can do this time. This is still Secure Next Day delivery tho...

Any more questions???

IMHO don't go for carbon (I did last time) as it's not real carbon just carbon effect & not a good effect at that IMHO of course although I did buy a pair so can comment with authority!

TX.

PS

I'd like to get a pair of PIAA blades for the wifes DC5 Integra ... any chance?

Thanks for letting us know about the carbon ones...

Oh and Alyn said he'd be happy to order blades for any car... as long as PIAA make 'em.... and you'd still get the 17.5% discount on whatever they cost.
Best thing to do would probably be to call him and find out mate....

Apologies people... have been away on a course for a week and only got back last night.

We're well over our count of twelve so I'll give Alyn a call tomorrow and make sure he's good to go....

Thanks for your patience....

I'd assume it'd be a fixed £6.50 for whatever you order but I'm just about to call and order right now so standby....
