Hey guys. I'm gonna have a shot at replacing my wiper arms as they are old and getting on in life.
I've noticed some cars with similar arms, but not sure. What models of cars have the same kind of wiper arm that I can just bolt on and be happy?
Cheers

Just go to Mitsubishi and buy them new. They are not that expensive. While you are there, grab the plastic panels at the base of the windscreen.

How much would I be looking at for both wipers and the leave guards?

Leaf guards are around $50 for the pair and the wipers are the same $ I think from memory.

I just reprinted mine, looks just as good for a fraction of the price

I repainted my old TE wiper arms three times, but the paint just kept on flaking off and revealing aluminium oxide underneath. I sanded them back and tried various primers and paint, but nothing worked. In the end I gave up and bought new wiper arms, around $40 for the pair IIRC. But that was about five years ago.

Just buy new ones, the corrosion will eventually show through paint again anyway.
I just bought the leaf guards thing - mine had deteriorated the rubber seal against the windscreen and one lifted.
The price on the computer looked like they were both (there's 2 parts) around $26 each.
When I collected & paid for them, they only charged me $42. Pretty happy with that. Mine's a 2003 model - surprised that it needed replacing, our 22 year old Toyota is in much better condition.
