Roberto and Gav are dead right. Who gives a damn as long as they work?
Back to the drugs then for me!
Suitably chilled.

I got my floppy wipers this morning and in a great coincidence it was raining when I fitted them - they are the dogs testicles
Think I paid £15 delivered, well worth it
Here's some pics:

Hey matt they look very smart, my brother has them on his Alfa 156 however due to the curviature of the windscreen the passenger side wiper slightly lifts off the glass in part position, but once you switch them on it catches the glass 1cm up from the park position.
However yours look alot longer than my brothers infact yours seem to be on the plastic scuttle panel. What size are yours?

Hey Joske, they're 21" & 22". The look like they're resting on the plastic but they actually aren't. The wiper cover is about 1cm longer each end so the wiper is on the glass 100% of the time.
The only issue may be the spray on the 156 - due to it being under the bonnet instead of on top. With the old wipers they would spray the underside of the wiper and not the screen - bit of a design flaw there :s

I thought the bravo needed 22" and 19" or was it 23" and 19" wipers on the front?

As stated previously. Judging by the comments here, deffinitely the next buy.(even though i just fitted new bosch). Looked on the classic website and the cost there is £26 for the pair. so for the same thing off ebay for a tenner cheaper?

For those who already have these...is it possible to put the wind deflectors on them?
Only because I like the look of the deflectors being on, tbh...or might there be drawbacks having deflectors on these "floppies"?

re
The only reason i woudl buy these wipers is if i was having a smooth look on my car! as obviously they look a lot smoother compared to normal wipers.
to be honest i have only ever bought one pair of wiper blades in 7 years driving and 3 cars, havign owned my brava for 4/5 years.
I have always found as soon as it starts smearing i cleaned with autoglym fast glass and cleaned windscreen with the same!
and this has always kept the rubber good aswell.
