Bosch OE spec, with a spoiler on the drivers side.

Flippy floppy aeros are just plain wrong on a 20 year old car.

When I bought the car it came with Bosch wipers but since I did not know how long they had been on the car I swapped them for Halford ones - Yeah I know! - anyway those soon started to judder so switched back to Bosch and been good ever since. So Bosch get my vote.
