I find the ones with spoilers wear out faster so I don't use them, but that could be just me!

Definitely recommend spoiler on the drivers side. You don't have to be driving at excessive speed for the blade to lift - windy conditions will cause it aswell.

Bosch kit is 24/19S - cost £18.49 retail, £7.48 (!!!) trade price for the set at Halfrauds - both including VAT ... that's some discount on trade  :)

I did find an unspoilered pair of 24" at one of these massive out of town Tescos recently for about £3.50.  THe smaller size should also be available

Call me a cheapskate if you will but my guess is that you'd go through a lot of these to get to Tc prices....

Is that the right kit, as its the 24" one that is spoilered......

I think the reatil price from dealer is cheaper than retail from Halfords.  I've had both types on mine, not much between them, but I've found the Vx ones to be quieter in ooperation than the Bosch ones...
