Are they worth the extra spend?

Ive heard nothing but good things about them on the Lexus Forums i use, however i just picked up a set of retro fit (genuine bosch) aerotwins, which are superb, sticking to the screen easily way in to 3 figures.

I bought some unbranded flat blades for the nova and my missus C2, but they arent anywhere as near as good as the genuine ones.
The only trouble for us Nova owners is that the bosch retrofit aerotwins dont come in a twin 16" or 16" and 18" set of them, the only way is to buy a set that comes with a larger size then try and sell the spare ones on.

I got the boschs for a bargain ?24 inc postage from ebay.

the PIAA silicone blades get rave reviews on the VX forums too. I use GM flatblades though as they are cheap (and I only use one blade at a time)

have a look on the vauxhall website in the accessories bit and see if any cars have a 16" version..
