No - well the mechanism and arms are Rover Metro/100; but my wiper blades are both 17.5" ones with spoilers, I think they are Bosch.

Thanks for the reply thought that may be the case due to different size windscreen

Having said that, Rover Metro blades are 16"/400mm so they would fit though give a slightly smaller swept area. I think I went a size up or two - so maybe classed as 18" ones - but going too much longer causes them to clash IIRC.

Hi,
From the manual -

"Standard Rover Metro K Series wiper arms are used with the larger blades
T0685 provided within the kit. It is possible to bend the standard Rover Metro
arms at their ends nearest the fitment to the wiper blade to obtain a better
sweep of the screen."

From memory I didn't bend the arms, I just used a smaller blade.#

19" are what the Cinquecento uses (which is what the Libra windscreen is). Did you go for traditional type or 'flat' blades?
