Previously I had purchased the older style blades but had the dreaded judder on the windscreen every time it rained. I did not know you could fit these to the Mini Cooper S R56 and only found out after seeing it on a YouTube video. So glad I did, the blades are smooth, efficient and most importantly, quiet! They also made the car look a lot more modern. Expensive at £33 but they look smart and the Mini logo is pretty smart!
