Has onyone here fitted the VW / Mercedes AERO type wiper blades on their MINI?

My wipers are on their last legs and I fancy an upgrade instead of just replacing like with like.

The type I mean look like this :-

I've wanted these for a while but not found ones that will fit fr the MINI. Bosch said they would be making them to fit normal wipered cars but never seen anything of it.

I use the same kind of wipers for my Audi, it doesn't really work as well as they say. It leaves some streaks, and makes squeaky sound, and doesn't work too well in snow.

I have the Bosch Icon wipers on mine. It looks good and works very well.
The stock # is 418 A and B.
"A" for driver side and "B" for passenger side. They are 18 " long.

They are available from various suppliers but apparently they don't work any better than standard ones and in some cases they're actually worse.
