   They are quieter and do a much better job of clearing the water. And look much better. Yeah you can get ones to do straight swaps.

   You want the ones with "Retro Fit" -these will fit your standard hook type wiper arm which all saxos/106s have. It was the first mod on my car and they are fantastic-no smears or juddering etc on mine only cost £10 inc postage from ebay.
   
   I would definatley get some
