Replacement wiper blades

Hi folks
I've got a couple of minute lines being left on the screen so I need to replace the blades.
Looking at Rimmer Bros a genuine pair of blades with VAT and delivery works out at £55.
Is that good? Or would a pair of Heyner branded items on EBay be just as good for under £20 delivered.
Thoughts please

Have a chat to your local main dealer.
Had mine replaced last month at main dealer, authentic Jaguar ones fitted whilst I waited for £37 something pence. With two year parts warranty.

That sounds like a great deal, most unusual for them

I use Bosch, 1 off ar22U & 1 off ar21U. Currently approx £22 for the pair from Europarts using their TOUR60 offer code. I'm sure your local auto parts store could also supply. Most online searches don't find these as fitting the F-Type but they are the standard hook type and fit perfectly (providing of course JLR haven't changed the design of wiper arm since MY16!)

I know its an older thread but thought I would share my view and experience as I was looking to replace the blades on my 2020 P450 coupe. I put the reg in to various websites and many insisted I needed 2 of 21" blades which is incorrect. To confirm as others have, it is 22" or 550mm driver + 21" or 530mm passenger.
There were various suggestions of what to use including Bosch SP and Halfords own brand - who at least got the sizes correct but weirdly the drivers was £10 but the passenger blade was £20.
I was looking to do the same as Nav and Lunar mentioned above with the Bosch aerotwins and then stumbled over a twin pack on Amazon badged as Bosch AR550S. These are aerotwin blades and were a shade under £20 for the pair. They were the correct size 550mm/530mm so I purchased.
When I came to fit them I thought maybe I had the wrong ones as at first it didn't seem like the hook would fit but it just needed a little bit of angling and a tad of force to get the hook over the lip of the mount.
I can say after a few days that they work great; quiet, smooth and streak free.
