Yes they will fit, but they are very cheap and probably going to be crap right from the start, but they would look good. The ones you should get are the bosch areo wipers!

I got these wipers off ebay and they work perfectly. A lot better than standard wipers!

Try these Bosch 21"/21" form ebay. A bit dearer but worth it for the quality.
I made the mistake of buying cheap aeroflats and they didn't last the winter. Moved onto these and not had a problem. Got a spare pair sat in the shed ready for winter and just ordered a 3rd set to go on my dads 206.
Also don't buy 22" aeros as you will have problems with the overhang at the edge of the screen. The 21" blades don't quite follow the shape of the screen but it's only a tiny bit near the bottom corner so doesn't make any difference to your vision.

I bought cheap-o 22" ones from a local shop and whilst they work fine they are too big and I have overhang and they judder quite a bit which is really annoying. I think when I go to get new ones I'll get the 21" Bosch's instead.

I've gone of Bosch wipers, the wiper quality has gone downhill the last couple of years.
Im trying Valeo flat baldes at the moment & there working fine so far.

On topic of bosch,i think i've notice slight drop in quality too. The 1st pair of aerotwins that was on 206 was dead quiet when in operation,the ones on now has slight bit of noise but still decent. Still better than standard wipers though.

Valeo flat wipers are for the 307 aren't they? do they actually fit a 206?

I'm sure they sell retro fit blades for 206? Just need make sure you get right size too.
