They come up on ebay quite often, just watch out for KCI in Gemmany; you may want to get them from somewhere else.

I just need new rubber and the hard plastic that I assume the rubber is glued to. Can I get these at any store? Anyone in europe got any ideas??

I bought mine last week from Niemoeller in Germany. I paid EURO 39.55 each.

Assuming you're not being facetious, make yourself a cup of tea (or coffee) and start reading: http://sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=8016

Hi James

The rear 11" wiper blade replacement for the new mini available from Halfords fits our car. It takes about 5 minutes to cut off the plastic arm to leave the hard plastic, steel guides and rubber with clips on and put it onto the metal bosch "carriers" on our car. Cost £5.

The new MB versions are stainless not chrome (but could probably be polished to look like chrome).

Rubber refills for Bosch blades are available from MB.
