Just been to vauxhall by mine and asked for some Flatblade wipers for my corsa (N reg) and they said that they dont do them for that model corsa, only the corsa c + d.
I know for a fact that plenty of you lot have them so if you could tell me how you went about getting them that would be great, or even better, if you have the invoice and can get me a part number that would be a fanstastic help!

The ones for a Corsa C fit a Corsa B.
Some drivers side arm needs taking off, and adjusting up a few notches on the splinned mount, but that is it.
Just go in and ask for Corsa C ones

Mine have been superb and still are superb. They actually clean the screen at high speed, it is immense. If the screen isn't overly wet, they do shudder a bit however.
I just adjusted the arms so they aren't touching in the 'rest' position
