Just found these on the bay : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Bora-Golf-Mk3-Mk4-92-03-upgrade-Flat-Wiper-Blades_W0QQitemZ280209571826QQihZ018QQcategoryZ45645QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

^^ 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

No not the same size drivers side is bigger and yes £22 for the pair. Ive also found in the past that "cheaper" wipers are crap - I hate to say it again but you get what you pay for end of!! Buy quality ONCE :afro:
