Windscreen Wipers - Will these fit??

[SamJames]

I have just bought the below for my Mini Cooper 2002 R50.

BOSCH WIPER BLADES x2 SPOILER BMW MINI S ONE COOPER 01> on eBay (end time 16-Aug-09 17:12:04 BST)

Will they fit, how easily will they fit, and are they good? Im fairly low on car maintenance, so I hope they are easy to fit!!

Hi Sam, wiper blades are a simple job.
Did you know that people like Tesco sell replacements in there bigger stores.
£3ish

Do these not come with the new metal blade it? Is it just the rubber bit? - I was under the impression there were the whole new set?

I expect you will get the lot off ebay. I have not had a look at the site.
You can just change the rubbers and keep the arms, still easy to do.

On the recommendation of someone here, I recently got some Bosch Aero-Twin flat blade wipers and I'm an utter convert - at last some Mini wipers that work perfectly. I bought the kit for a Gen1 Mini and they fit perfectly to a Gen2 - having an 18" passenger wiper instead of the original 19" is not noticeable.

The Bosch flat blades conform to the Mini screen at the top and bottom better than other flat blades I've tried. But most importantly of all, they wipe the screen perfectly in both directions at high speeds.
