Both front blades are 21 inch, contrary to where CS may have mislead you.

I have been using Bosch SP21`s , but will add a pair of Motrio 8671000035 into my next my next RPD order, at a similar price to the

Bosch blades.

if only to see what make they are, and to qualify for free postage.

Dont waste your money on the Motrios, theyre good for about 3 months max. Im using PIAA at the mo, but the Bosch are a good blade.

Amazon seem to have the lowest prices on Bosch SP21S / SP21 (fronts) at £13.42 and H301 (rears) at £5.90 sold via Bosch’s own website.

Yep without question. Had PIAA on my Impreza for over 10 years. they were pretty much as good after 10 years as they were on day one. Bosch are decent but theyre still a rubber blade that deteriorates pretty quick. Youll get 6/8 months daily driving out of them.

Thanks for that.

My previous set of Bosch lasted 25k miles over 34 months, but I`ll go for the PIAA next time.

Have you had any experience of their bulbs?

I haven't personally, i always go for the Phillips Xtreme vision 130 Xenon from Powerbulbs. They're excellent and last a long time. In my cars life, its only ever had 2 sets of headlamp bulbs. Daily driver driven at night every week.

I’ve just bought some Bosch SP21s. To fit the driver blade, I had to pop out the connecting clip and reverse it. If I didn’t do this the wind deflector blade would be on top rather than below.

Is it normal to have to reverse the connecting clip?

Yes.
Not everyone spots the defector in the wrong place .
It should be underneath the blade.
Also you can un clip the spoiler and add it to a non spoiler blade sometimes, or is that being a bit tight :)
Has anyone tried the valeo blades. They might still be the OE ??
