   I had them on my old saxo for a couple of days but the springs in the wiper arms were so crap the blade wasn't pushing down enough on the windscreen causing it to miss the middle of the screen. i'd rate standard bosch ones over ebay flats anyday tbh

   Anyone suggest someone they have used or are going to use?
   I dont really want to use e-bay if i dont have to, would rather use a reccomended company.

   Tesco £4 each...
   
   20" and 18"...put mine on weekend gone, 18" one i feel are too big...have just under an inch hanging over...
   
   They seem good...but so did the bosch ones when i got them from Halfords 7months ago.
   
   Agree with whoever said 'look great from outside, look shit from inside'

   I have them on the 206. Got them off egay.
   
   They do the job, don't jump when going at speed but because they are cheapo one's they have worn out pretty quickly.
   
   Annoying thing about mine is the 206 wipes from the different side from most cars. Means that the spoiler is on the wrong way as such. Not a huge problem but annoying.
