Had a quick go with them and they clear the window much smoother than the old one's did. Still not as tidy a look as genuine aero arms but still improved on standard blades I think.
Here is where I got them from http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/valeo-silencio-xtrm-um664-retrofit-flat-and-valeo-silencio-xtrm-um622-retrofit-flat-twin-pack-wiper-blades/ (http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/valeo-silencio-xtrm-um664-retrofit-flat-and-valeo-silencio-xtrm-um622-retrofit-flat-twin-pack-wiper-blades/)

because genuine aero arms look better :tongue:

But cost a hell of a lot more!! :drool:
Did think about removing the arms and spraying them satin black. How would I go about doing it? Just normal primer and paint be ok?

I bought the own brand retrofit ones from there and they're really good wipers!

I was surpised how much better they were at clearing the screen. Could be partly because mine were on the way out but I'm pleased with the look and how they perform.
