The front you can get from anywhere really.

The rear tho you have 2 options:

1) From Renault - its the complete blade/plastic part £6

2) Buy a blade from anywhere and cut it to the same size as the rear then remove the old one carefully an replace with new. £3-5

Get flat blades for the front, much better than the normal ones. Got my back one from www.wiperblades.co.uk

Halfords ones are Ok for the rear get there cut to size ones £6 for a set of 3. Else Renault its £6 that included the clips so easyier to chnage (not that its difficult anyway)

For the front use the Bosch ones Halfords sell I'm happy with them there good value.

The Civic (I forget which age) uses the same rear wiper and is a bit cheaper.

The PIAA ones are the business. OK, they cost more, but they are a silicone blade - you clean the screen first, then fit the blades and run them on the screen dry or 10 minutes. This leaves a layer of silicone on your screen, making it harder for dirt to stick, and water flies off. They don't squeal either. I won't fit anything else now personally.
