There isn't, I've been told that they are all the same,  I couldn't get the MS ones on initially but I just wasn't being man enough :-)

I had the defender ones before the original ones were made available again, no idea why you would want something that wont look nearly as good, 1.You have to bend them(no they dont look pretty when you mess them up) 2.your bonnet wont open with them on(unless you drill out the ends more) 3.They dont look nearly as neat.

 

 

By all means the defender ones worked well when they were on.

Money mate, I've already spent way more then I should have on the mini this month and a tenner to get actual working wipers is do able. By the time postage is added on minispares I'd be paying close to 30, I'll get em next month when I have money.

I completely understand, thats why I got them aswell! save money where you can! just make sure you bend them enough otherwise they get stuck on the windscreen seal at the top, had this a couple of times when I was driving along!

 

If you want to save more i could flog you my old defender ones I used(not rusty) hardly used as well, just pay the P&P and ill give you them free, no wiper blades tho as I used them on the new ones.

What's wrong with the defender ones exactly? because mine fitted perfectly and didn't need to bend em.

Can't check as I took the bonnet off to do work to engine but they only sit slightly higher then the originals so fingers crossed they're ok.
