. . Race X history is a good place to start, well, they have been on the go for a while now, and are getting a good name. The company sells a range of kit that the younger generation require for making their motors look better, and although these "show" items look good, they are not really what I would call improvements. That said, when it comes to wiper blades, they seem to have come up with the goods, The quality of the rubber seems very good, and the clean sweep is as good as any "original equipment".
You will also find over 300 other styling items for sale, including pedal pads, gear knobs & gaiters, locking wheel nuts etc. Plus the usual array of tax disc holders & "go faster" Aluminium look rubber mats, and of course induction filters.
Size - the review is about 18" wiper blades, but of course all the information here is the same for any size. These particular wiper blades are number RX1018S in the catalogue, and they are advertised as STANDARD MULTI FITTINGS 16" SPORTS WIPER BLADE. This means they will go onto your old wiper arms without special adaptors. These ones are available in blue, silver, and red.
Cost - to be quite honest I have forgotten the price I paid, but it is reasonable or I would not have paid it.
Where from - All the motor accessory shops stock these, especially the A1 Motor AStores. They are also available mail order.
The website is simply http://www.racex.com/ Check it out. There are some good bits, but a lot of it is not yet up & running. You will find a few pics of Whitney on there, Whitney is their model, she was an Ex Miss England Finalist in 2005.

Advice for people buying these would be to choose carefully, preferably feel the product first, and if in doubt, buy the original equipment instead.
Compared with others, these seem to stand up to scrutiny, even by me, and that is saying something! . .
