CLUB.
I need your assistance.
Following a few recommendations on here I brought some Michelin Stealth Hybrid wiper blades on line.
They fit and they work well.
But they look shit.
See photos of my old Bosch vis the new Michelins.
I'm currently in discussion with the guys at Michelin about this.
They are saying that the OEM was Denso and that Denso did not have a (nice looking) cover like the Bosch.
Can ya all take a look/photo/post of what you have with the suppliers name please?
This is club stuff!!
I'd love to get a result.
Nothing to do with the ÂŁ20 cost.
I want a nicely designed finish without stress.
Can you lot help please??

Those Michelins look shocking bud, I have the Bosch Aero Twins but from a good few years ago and love them no problems so far!
What do you need just a picture of my wipers? Pretty sure I have thrown the boxes away they came in if you need a picture of the boxes.
 
Cheers Richard.
Ideally I'd like a photo of the Denso OEM or aftermarket Denso units.
No way would Nissan release such a shocking fitment.
I'm sure.
Just have to prove it to the powers.
I don't want a refund or replacement.
I just want something that looks 'standard/good' from the off.
Michelin are a major player, they should never release such pony to market.
I'm trying to help them too.

I'll have a look tomoz bud see if I still have my old wiper blades and check whether they are Denso. đź‘Ť
 
I put some Michelin wiper blade so on my friend car at the weekend … they look like something outta the arc.. have Bosch aero twins on all our cars they look much better and work great
 
If it helps, I fitted the Denso hybrids a couple of Fridays back. They look alright and perform well (no lifting).

Got them through euro car parts. With the discounts came out at 21 quid for the pair. Tip, don't enter model details as their database doesn't cover wiper blades for the Elgrand apart from the rear. Blades are working well, tested on the m62 over a weekend and believe me the weather was shi...

Part numbers are.
