It's Fiat 126 wiper blades you put on the Metro or Mini arms. Usually the Bosch blades have sufficient adaptors to attach them to the arms. Works perfect, the only thing I still have to do is to change the wiper mechanism so the blade doesn't run over the window rubber (what they all do).

Found it... on a Midtec Bronze info sheet (red A reg in the photo). It says Mini rack, but 126 arms & blades.
If the arms a shorter, or more cranked, the end of the blade nearest the wheel box will run off the screen: unless you fit them to clear, then they'll run off the screen in the park position.

The best wiper blades of all, are the new Goodyear blades. I have them fitted to my Mk 3. They are also fitted to my modern Ford. They are excellent!

Just an update
eurocarparts are doing a 30% off all wiper blades with the code; OILSPILL30
(looks like you need to spend £9.98 to qualify for this offer...)
I'd just like someone to confirm that these 13" universal Bosch Flat Wiper Blades would be correct for a midas!;
http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-a ... &0&cc5_167If you don't fancy purchasing something to round up your basket to 9.98 to qualify for the offer the same part is available here for cheaper (though it is the same company!);

Looking at getting some areotype blades now, but as they are black - and I have chrome wiper arms, can anyone find black wiper arms for a fiat 126?

Yours look like Mini ones. I believe the original black arms are off an Allegro.

This was my initial thought as well, I want to de-chrome my car a little!

The black ones are just as shiny if you rub the paint off you know

I wonder how well my current ones would take to black paint...I then need to figure out aero blades for mini arms...

Rough them up a bit and use some acid etch primer. u-pol acid 8 I think.
