Default Bosch Aerotwin wiper blades

I've spotted these new style blades on a few different makes of car recently and like their low profile and new mounting which does away with the traditional cantilever wiper arm.

http://www.boschautoparts.co.uk/pcWipe5.asp?c=2&d=1

So the obvious question is, has anyone tried fitting these to the S (or indeed any car)?

I would imagine it would necessitate the removal of the old wiper arm to be replaced with the new mechanism.

Any thoughts?

I ordered a pair two days ago.

I know they are a major improvement, constant contact and no jumping. I upgraded to them on my Golf IV.

Will let you know how I get on with them although with the current weather forecast I dont know when I'll test them properly!

Interesting. How easy were they to upgrade and where did you buy them from?

Don't worry AE, you've got a slow colour so high speed isn't a concern for you.

Won't be any problem with speed, as I saw a set of these fitted to a Lamborghini Gallardo yesterday afternoon.

The sizes your after are 20 and 16.

I'd love to know how people have gotten on with these as well.
