Took me about 2 hours to do mine*

*Actually that might be an over estimation by about 1 hour and 59 mins......

all kidding aside, very easy to do!!!!

1. pulll wipers up( as if your washing your car window)
2. they clip out, slide them down and pull them out.

very easy

all in all i think if it takes you longer than 1 minute to do each one then either the previous owner has welded them on for a laugh or you really need to give up motoring and buy a bike.

I have these on my Spec D, the measurement is 16" on MY06. Only thing easier than changing these is pumping up your tyres.

They are the people who sent me 2 x 22s and gave me the option of a 16 or 18, as the standards are 22/17 i thought 18 would be better as it covered more area then a 16.

My OEM hawkeye ones were 16 and a smidge, my classics are 18's. Passenger side anyway so it makes little difference tbh. The important visible area is gonna be fine either way.
