What you need mate are the Lupo GTi wiper arms and blades for the front, and a Polo 9n rear wiper for the back, which requires the wiper blade to be cut to length. I haven't got part numbers to hand at the moment, I'll see what I can dig up!

you need to file abit of metal off the back of the drivers side arm and bend it slightly.

Yeah the driver's side arm is a bit of an annoyance if you don't mod it slightly like dubpolo has - mine scrapes and grumbles a little bit but I can't be arsed to sort it out as it's already marked the scuttle panel where the arm sweeps up (it's hardly noticeable...). The passenger wiper arm sits perfectly though so no worries there, and the rear one is fine too once cut to the right lenght (so as to avoid hitting the rear spoiler on the GTi).
