^^ I got a set of these same ones last year and they were absolute crap!
Had to buy a new set within a week
From experience the Bosch Aerotwin ones are the ones to have (current ones have lasted nearly a year), the Aerotwins are the ones the stealers do I think, although sometimes come up on the bay a bit cheaper
-
are the ones from the stealer's both the same size and was it £20 the pair?

very true that rich we had a bmw e30 at work and he hd aero wipers and they smeared the screen like there was mud on the blade, horrible.

£23.49 is bang on. Mine should arrive at the stealers tommorrow the parts guy said that the wipers on their own are £10.something each but they need different clips to fit on the mark 4 arms which is why they're called a conversion kit.
