I've seen these fitted on new VW's (didn't know they were available for Vauxhalls yet) and having driven a couple of our company VW Golfs fitted with these blades, I can tell you they are very good - very quiet and really clear the screen well. If the VX one's are as good I'll definitely be getting a pair myself.

The normal Vx ones are very good and quiet, but still need to be replaced at least annually....

I think its recommended to change them every 6 months. On average in th UK they get changed every 2 years I read somewhere.

I put new blades on mine about 3 months ago and they are squeaking/vibrating like mad already.

I asked the guy what sizes he'll send & this was his reply

HI . 1 IS DEFINITELY 19 AND THE OTHER IS EITHER 23 OR 24 , I CANT REMEMBER EXACTLY . THEY ARE THE GENUINE VAUXHALL FLATBLADES THAT ARE CORRECT FOR OMEGAS OR VECTRAS (EXACTLY THE SAME SIZE BLADES).YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED . REGARDS

well to put the pricing into context, a set of Bosch "normal" wipers are 24" and 19" for the fronts, and cost £7.50 at Halfrauds if you have a trade card, I think £18.99 is the full retail price ...
