For me, nothing says 1940's like a coathanger style wiper.
I’m in that camp. Valeo Aeros and they are great. And I don’t need to see out of that final 3” on the near side tbh.

But, as always, each to their own. This would be boring if we all wanted the same thing.

I bought a Bosch Aerotwin 28 for the Berlingo today.
It seemed a different design to the ones i bought some time ago for the Zed.
Have they changed the design last few years, just looked less bulky at the arm attachment.
And blade housing had a symmetrical look about it.
Local The Range sells them about £16 each.
Local Halfords, Dudley Merry Hill, has closed down :o

Not sure they have changed much in recent times - the connector does stand out as being quite chunky.

Visually that's the least attractive part of the aerotwins I reckon.

But overall I prefer the look, and I like the feeling that there has been some effort put in to make the performance better. Plus it just looks more... 'modern'.

Fitted the Bosch Icons, took about 20 seconds each to fit, no messing with adapters.
Both 20 inch, the 21 drivers side i had fitted seemed a bit long.
The housing is a bit chunky, but no taller than coat hanger type.
But they have asymmetric offset spoiler, i think made for lhd cars.
