My mate has them on his Civic EG. I dont know if theyre Ebay ones but they are really really good. I always though wiper blades were wiper blades. I never though you could improve them.

Worth it IMO - And give your windscreen a good polish too

Gav, don't buy flat blades made by Classic (all over ebay) as they are crap.

They do the job, but don't fit the screen properly, ie don't actually mould to the curve of the screen.

I have them on mine and both ends of the blade flop about on the motoway as they aren't pressed against the screen.

From reading on here, you can use the Corsa C flat blades from Vauxhall without problems.

If you can get Halfords trade prices from somebody, a set of Bosch blades will be about £10 for the Corsa.

Oh, and by the way, your CTS idea - it worked, car runs properly again now. Cheers mate!

Comes to about £12 with Halfords Trade

Yeah they seem miles better to me?
Mine were bent when they came if you know what I mean, so that when they were in contact with the screen they fit perfectly
