Yeah, as long as its the AR502S they will have the right fittings. As you say, you will never find them listed for the S2000 because the lengths are different to OEM but an 18" on the drivers side with these slim blades is perfect.

..ah okay, I've just realised that 'twin packs' for the S2000 are always listed as a 20" and 16" combo, not 20" and 18".
For instance, the AR502S Bosch Aerotwins GavB listed above [thanks for that, and the pic - exactly what I was looking for
] can be found here:
http://www.wiperblad...-500-450mm.html
But listed for only the following models:
HONDA
Civic Coupe 01/94-04/00
Civic CRX MK4 03/92-12/98
Civic Fastback MK4 09/94-01/97
Though I'm pretty sure they all use the same fitment anyway...

I change my blades twice a year Using Bosch or Valeo, whichever we have on special offer, and also Rain X 3 or 4m times applied in the year.

Your right, the factory spec for an S2000 is 20" and 16", however an 18" blade will fit on the passenger side and will increase the sweep area of the blade.

I have a 20" blade on the drivers side which fits fine, but the 20" blade on the passenger side is slightly too long. It fits the sweep area, but it's too long to follow the curve of the windscreen when the wipers are parked.

I'd agree that the aero blades don't curve quite as much as the normal wipers and as such don't contour to the screen at the end of the passenger side when Parked, however they fully engage almost immediately so it doesn't matter. On the drivers side a 20 will just fit but it seemed like overkill to me, it was wiping beyond the field of vision.

Most websites seem to indicate the larger 20" is for the drivers side, the smaller 16" [or 18" in most of your cases] for the passenger side, once you enter your car model details for the S2000.

Thanks, it's weird the following websites inform the consumer otherwise then:

http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/honda-s2000-1999-to-2011-wiper-blades/
http://www.wiperblad...k/wiper_app.php
...unless I'm missing something obvious
EDIT: for full URLs...hmm still doesn't display full website address!!
