There's a bit of contention over whether there is any gain from using aero wipers, but I find mine do their job pretty well. They also look a hell of a lot better than normal wipers.
I think mine are both 21" wipers. Not sure.

As said, get the Bosch ones. They clean a lot better, make no noise compared to others and never freeze to the screen like a lot do

i know as i made the mistake of ordering 2 22" first time round and they hang over on the drivers side by just a tiny bit and miss wiping a little bit

if yours is an older 206 then yes they were different sizes i think its something like 18" n 24" not too sure though, im sure someone will clear up for you wether im right or not.
as for them hanging over it may just be that you have the wrong size ones on, check them once someone clarifies what size it is for older 206's

why not just get 2 21" as thats the correct size?
i suppose in theory it would work but imo easier to just get what is the correct size
