Not a chance, pay nearly double for the same part with FORD printed on it. Halfrauds all the way.

ford ones, last longer, good quality,

you need the ones with the spolier on so they dont lift when going 150


p.s

Thats cheaper than I was quoted, but mine were picked up during a service so labour was on top. Easy job for someone.

ford ones are ok but bosch ones are better, you'll pay around a fiver each and maybe a litlle bit more with spoilers. stay away from shitty auto care ones and halfords own.

Thanks guys. Well the Bosch ones in Halfords have a spoiler which is plastic, like my current ones. Whereas the ones at Ford have a smaller blade which is metal and is joined/blended in. Have asked the guy to order me some motorcraft ones as these are what are on at the mo.

How sad am i

Ryan, you still looking?

I got my ones from Fords, prefer to see that little oval print in every possible place on my car.

I went for 2 spoilered version instead of just the one, so it dont look odd.

Think both was Ł17ish.

what's the point of spending so much money on wipers when you guys don't drive in the rain!? wipe the windscreen clean when you wash the car perhaps?
