Tesco
 They do the flexi-type that's all the rage on the new motors (like D3s). 3.50 each side (1* 20 and 1* 22) and they fit easily, work a charm. OK, they may not last as long, but my brother in law is a taxi driver and apparently his mates all swear by them (I confirmed by them and not at).

I have teh PIAA silicon ones on and they are really good. They build up a layer of silicon on teh screen which makes the water bead off at speed.
Highly recommended by me

wiper blades
Does anyone know what size wiper blades we need on the driver and passenger side? The ones on the car are terrible so ill probably replace them with the Rain-X Latitude blades. Just not sure what size to get. Thanks.

I'd go with the Bosch... Did have a daft turn and go with the cheapo Tesco blade options.. Great for about a fortnight, then it snapped off on the motorway!

IIRC one blade also has to be for curved screen and one for 'flat'. I recall on mine that getting them teh wrong way round showed a massive difference.
