UK has a different spec? I doubt so. Can we use the shorter version?
I think so and I prefer "UK spec'' because 28" blade can be fixed on the driver's side.
30" blade cannot [too long] unless u swap the arm [may be
lah... anybody had tried?]

Yes and NO
Ori wipers Cannot. The wiper is designed to be fixed on the correct arm - i.e not interchangeable.
Third Party wipers CAN be swapped between left and right.
On my 308, I fixed the 28" wiper blade on driver's side as shown in the pic above.

So I presume your driver's side is having 28" while passenger side is having 30".
Can you let me know where did you get those? Thanks.

Currently I'm using third party 28" blade on driver's side and 26" on passenger's side. Because the driver always need larger wiping coverage.
Pls take note: It is not advisable to swap wiper arms in order to accommodate original 30" blade on driver's side because the shorter arm on passenger's side will be too short to wipe water droplets above rain sensor. This wil make rain sensor useless.

Can we order 28"...
Normally twin pack comes with different blade lengths; such as 30" x 26", 28"x 26"... etc.. but think v can buy single-pack blade of any length. Next time I'll order 2 pcs of 28" blades...

HERE too.

If u don't swap the arms, 28"blade on passanger's side arm is long enough for the rain sensor. I advice u to buy 2 single-pack 28"blades as suggested by Chargerguy.

We could get 2 identical 28" wiper blades but the "spoiler" of the wiper will not conform the aerodynamic position...Uncle D...is this correct?

Get the centralised spoiler type of wiper blades like these:
...which allow fitment to both left-hand and right-hand drive vehicles, as well as to vehicles with 'clapping' blades like our 308.
