   Ive noticed no flaw with the performance of mine, keeps the rain off without any problems.
   
   They look nice and tidy, and they take approx 1 hour to fit for an average person with a little bit of car knowledge. If you know a fair bit its easy enough to swap the wipers and linages over in about 20/25 minutes

   yes pretty straight forward, just make sure u do the nut up on the motor properly cos me and seanp06 didnt do it up tight enough and when it rained my wiper came off, not very effective lol

   I love single wipers, I had one on my old saxo, had a few problems with it but it was fine when it worked.

    Mine looks great and performance wise it's ok. Doesn't cover as much of the screen as a pair but still gives enough clearance to see when it's lashing down
