Only use the Chim in the wet when I have to (ie get caught out).
Has anyone tried these: http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/tvr-chimaera-years-19...

Any good or am I wasting my time?

Just fitted the Leven arms and blades. Superb and look really tidy. Gets rid of that looping unsightly plastic tubing.

There are two different styles of wipers on Chimaeras, depending on model year. The earlier ones (up to about 97/98-ish) have the wiper motor in the rear corner of the engine bay and both wiper arms have roughly the same sweep, but the later cars have the motor inside just above the driver's knees. On the later cars, the passenger wiper has a much shorter sweep than the driver's side: maybe only 110 degrees compared to about 150 degrees, at a rough guess.

My question is: do the Leven arms work with the later setup?

I'm thinking that I'd quite like to improve the wipers, which let's face it are pretty rubbish as standard.
