I quite like the splitter, cheap alternative arn't they. Did you get it from a dealer?

Yeah bought it from Peugeot or £34.50 inc vat. I cant consider the cup splitter, aint got that kinda cash so its th best alternative ive seen.

Very nice, love Monaco (and the Recaro's).
Not a fan of the 307 splitter tho, too big IMO.

its only a tad bigger, and justfies the cost saving imo!!

looking good, i quite like the splitter

cheers. only took an hour to fit (was cold and windy lol)

Looking good, nice touches

Aint got too much cash to throw around, but a few small touches makes a nice subtle difference. cheers

what are hattons blades like?

Uh there not bad for the cash. I wouldnt say they are as good as normal wipers (for wipeability - lol is that a word??). the far right side of the drivers wiper doesnt quite touch the window properly, and the left hand side of the passengers wiper shakes off the windscreen at high speeds and therefore doesnt wipe the window at all. but the main area of the windscreen is wiped well.

Niiiiice! I like the 307 splitter on it, not seen that before and I think it looks really good. And silvervisions make such a big difference!!

Yeah they were the first thing i did to the car. well worth it and they were well cheap!

loving the splitter! cant go wrong for £35 imho!

lol at wiper blade review! so there pants then

Well they were less than half of the price of the proper bosch ones, so i wasnt expecting miracles. think i might go for the expensive ones next time round tho!

do you think i'd get a job doing reviews???

EDIT

I have just looked at the pics, you do have the old style blade without the spoiler when did you buy them have you only just fitted them?





well i'm not liking that atall most people on hear are satisfied one person "forgot name " in a mk1 has tested them upto 120mph and they where brilliant, as for not touching the creen bend them before you put them on, let them bed in for about 2 weeks of wetuse,

trouble with areo blades on a clio is

clio screen are s**t there round so they do require bending.

Hi Josh, Ive had the wipers since november (if i remember correctly), as i said in the OP they are just some pics i found when clearing off the camera, so ive had them on the car for atleast 2 months now.

I spoke to you a few days after I received them and said the fit wasnt great and they werent wiping the whole windscreen. I understand that the rubber takes a little while to 'bed in' as such.
I was happy to leave positive feedback for you as you responded to my questions quickly and in detail, and the product looks the b****cks!!
(I still havent received feedback from you by the way)

I was asked my opinion by riz and thats what i gave. They arent particularly bad, and for the money I wouldnt say they were bad at all, all I was saying is theyre no bosch.

I understand the clio windscreen is curved, but when you buy a product you dont go back to a shop and say "these dont fit properly" and then get told your cars s**t.

If I had a way of filming the wiper at speed I would happily show you them rattling around. I have removed them and bent them but it hast reali done the job. It doesnt bother me, and when im going at 'normal' speeds, the wipers do the job fine! I havent emailed you saying their crap and I want a new set or anything.

Hope that all makes sense.
