I think they're slightly better but not worth the extra that Vx charge, don't know about the factor ones....

There's a guy on ebay that sells them £13.50 + p&p. Got them on my mega and they are very good.

At that price, I'd expect them to be bloody brilliant  :o

Well I got mine from Tesco. £2.97 for a pair. So £5.94 for 2 sets. I have to say they are really quite good, the only thing that lets them down is the lack of spoiler. Even to be kept in the boot for emergencies they are good.
