I got Goodyear ones from Costco, were only £5 each and are really good. They fit on the original arms, they're called Goodyear Assurance wiper blades.

I had Tesco ones before and they were cheap.... but pretty gash imo. The goodyear ones seem really good. Be sure and give your screen a good clean & polish before fitting them :)

I bought some Bosch retro fit ones and they work just as well as the genuine ones you find on the Lupo. Granted the proper ones look better but in terms of function they are exactly the same and far better than the standard wiper blade.

Yeah, I was referring to the 'proper' aero style wiper that comes on the Lupo as being the genuine article as appose to the retro fit type ;)

Aye - its something i keep looking into on mine, but the whole issue of the scuttle doesnt attract me very much! I might get some arms, and chop them up and weld them so I have 6n2 base arms, with aero blade ends :D

I'm tempted to do that too - the Lupo arms look much better than the retro fit and I'm def not up for the scraping on the scuttle either.

But hey, for now I'm sticking with the retro fit ones as they do a grand job :D
