For future reference, since Super Cheap and Autobarn do not stock Bosch wipers anymore, i sourced mine from the UK. Cost me about $50 shipped for a twin pack (depending on exchange rates). Now just waiting for them to arrive.

Eitherway, there are two packs which are suitable for our cars:

AR604S - 600mm drivers side with a 450mm passenger side wiper
AR607S - 600mm drivers side with a 475mm passenger side wiper (This one was slightly cheaper, bout 2 pounds cheaper)

I ended up getting the AR604S for my car.

Also, when searching for these on ebay, they maybe listed for Hyundai's, Opel's, Vauxhall's etc. Shouldnt matter, as long as that code is provided as that model is the hook type 'retrofit' and signifies the length of the blades.

Yeah looks like Supercheap are phasing out a lot of brands in preference for SCA which I'm pretty sure is their own brand.

I bought the Bosch lookalike flexi wipers, I think they were Trident or something when they were 25% off. They are holding up very well. IMHO a bit OTT to get wiper blades shipped over from the UK :P

I fitted bosch aerotwin blades the other week to both my cars (Mazda 6 & Subaru Libery).

On the Lib, I went 600mm on drivers & 500mm for passenger.

If anyone is looking for a single 450mm bosch aerotwin, $12 + postage.

I bought it for the Mazda, and it was too small.

Mine came in the mail today, fitted them, they wipe fine, just the connecting point does look really bulky! I can only notice the drivers side one though.

If any one is still interested in these wiper blades, i just bought a pair from a company in UK, called [url]wiperblades.co.uk[/url]

I tried finding them in Australia, but no luck. I even wrote to Bosch but they never replied. I went for AR607S - 600mm drivers side with a 475mm passenger side wiper.

The price was around 50 GBP which i think is OK.

Ouch.

What I normally do is I find the part I need, and order from this guy (just put in the part number AR607S in the store search box) on ebay.co.uk. Found to be about $50AUD shipped.

I would be interested in that for sure, I assume you are happy to post them out interstate?

Please let me know what the price would be with postage.

Thanks!

DAMN! I tried looking at Ebay Australia, but apparently not hard enough :D .

I will keep that and the offer from Tommy in mind for next time.
