I 'retrofitted' the Anco Teflon refills from their provided blades to the stock MINI blades with great success. These wipers work well, dont drag or chatter in light rain conditions and fit pretty well.

I found that the driver's side replacement blade seemed to flutter a but since it lacked the airflow 'spoiler' that the stock one had. I moved the 'refills' to the stock arms and gave the holders a light squeeze with pliers to hold the new refills snugly without binding.

 

As promised I have included the pics of my wipers. They are made by Pilot. As I said they work well and look good on my car. I have been using them for 6 months and only had one problem. Shortly after I purchased them i took it to the car wash and a small piece of chrome came off one. I took it back and they easily exchanged it for a new one. They have been great since then.

 

Can some one post close-ups and overall pics of their mini (or any other car) with silblades, especially carbon fiber ones. I have a DS/W mini (look at my sig) and I think that a carbon fiber/ white blade wiper would look good but silblade.com just has the small pics and I can't see what the carbon fiber looks like. I know it is fake CF but it can still look good. Thanks
