Seen these on Flea bay and wandering if anyones fitted them and if they have any thoughts. The standard blades are pants so I'm hoping that these may improve things a little...

Haven't tried those mate, but i fitted the Leven ones last year, and i am impressed. Have a look www.leventechnology.co.uk/index.htm scroll down the "news", and you'll find them there.
They are a bit more expensive, but at least they work

Not fitted those particular items but there are some similar blades on wiperblades.co.uk - fitted those - they look better and fit better, only miss the very bottom corner of the passenger side of the screen.

Had something similar on a Renault Scenic a while back... worked well on that windscreen which was very curved

Leven ones, oh yes.

Fitted them to my last Chim and they were the first thing I bought for my current one.

Thanks for your help guys - especially Quinny for the feedback on them. I'll give them a try then - not so bothered about the noise as the cherried exhaust should help drown that out. Main reason I'm considering them over the leven ones apart from cost is the aesthetics, they do look quite nice being so flush to the screen.
One final question for those that have fitted them, the standard blades tend to push up the screen a lot at speed do these flat blades get caught by the wind as much?
