Wow that's cheap , a pair have been purchased .

I only used to buy brand name blades, but these were recommended on another forum.
Thought at that price, why not?
Mrs Catman's 147 has a full set as well.

Buy refills, they are still available. The original wipers are something like £53 each from Maserati so fitted a pair of Valeo. Took them off after 1 day and fitted refills to the original wipers as I prefer the spoilers on them. Valeo wipers had much smaller spoilers and at 130mph plus you get a little lift off the screen.

I have these on too, so far no problems at all but it's only been a month or so, and mainly wiping grime off the screen thrown up by spray from lorries. High speed seems fine too, they like to grip.

looking around for insurance last year some guy tried to tell me the screen cost 7k to replace to justify his premium, me thinks not Sir checking on eurospares. So he didn't get my business.

Thrrrp. No problems, no judder, perfect performance. Longevity may be an issue. After 6 months daily driving, the NS one may be giving up, OTOH I don't recall Bosch lasting any longer.
