We shall see, as Ive just bought a pair of the "fleabay" ones. And even I can fit a pair of Halfords blades, but they seem crap compared to the Bosch ones that they've replaced. Seems its worth spending the extra to get some quality. I will however also stick with my trusty Rain-X that Ive been using for years. Always works and never had any adverse effects, at the very least it prompts some interesting passenger comments when I drive around in the rain without my wipers on (sensibly of course)

I assume you mean the flat blade conversion blades!
I've done about 5K with mine on through all this recent sh1te weather and they are still going strong...
As I said earlier give them a week or so to find the shape of your windscreen and they'll work great. And the spoilers are built in so no need for them as well ... and they look better than normal wipers imho. I also use (when I remember) rain x and they work great with that ...but they all do I suppose.
enjoy your £10 bargain !!!

Well what can I say, I am not easily pleased, but this has got to be the best £12.99 (+postage) Ive spent in ages. You guys were right. 
Ive always been impressed with the set up on my missus Audi, but so I should be for a £25k company car. But these babies are just as good.
30 secs to swap them over with the old Bosch set up and I could appreciate the difference immediately. They fitted a treat, took to the shape of the window immediately and cleared the screen without fault due to the constant pressure across the wiper and. ..most important to a twisty bugger like me....they are as quiet as the grave.
That wiper screech I used to get occassionally went thru me like a knife, but these are absolutely silent even when the rain/sleet eased off to almost nothing. Due to conditions yesterday I didnt do much over 60mph, so I cant comment on high speed performance, lifting off etc, but I suspect they will be fine.
Its not often I recommend anything, but I'd certainly vouch for these.
PantsUK posted the ebay link earlier, if it doesnt work, the seller is UK_bulb_co
And before anyone asks, no, I dont know them and I'm not getting anything for saying this, I'm just so impressed by this product (sad, I know) I thought I'd share my experience.
