Result!!
Thought you might find this funny......
Just driven over to collect my £260 bronze tint heated front screen for my 500, after ages driving up and down the large estate I call the guy to see exactly where his place is. He asks me what companies I can see but he doesn't recognise the names so I tell him I have seen a Halfords and a Texeco station on the site, at this point he starts laughing down the phone and says Im miles away as there is NO Halfords on the site.
Anyhow I eventually find his place but 150 yrd before I get there I see the said Halfords on the next road to his place 
This pissed me off a bit tbh!
Anyhow I goes in there all stroppy and say he wants to open his eyes and that there IS a Halfords on the site, he says he's been on the site 20yrs and there is NOT a Halfords! I reply with "care to put your money where your mouth is? Double or quits on the screen" he comes back with "I'm that certain I will go double on that" so at this point I'm thinking it may be some shonkey outfit using a similar logo to Halfords and not wanting to end up paying a grand for the screen I decline and go just double or quits and we shake on it.
We walk the 150yrs and turn to the right and there 4 buildings down is a beautiful sight
Indeed it was a Halfords, so we walk back and I ask if he's a man of his word, he says yes and hands me my screen and I drive off 
Good huh?

The fitter actually knows the guy I did the bet with and said next time he orders off him he's gonna ask if he's still round the corner from Halfords, haha.

He does heated screens for loads of cars, sadly non for Firenzas!
They're actually just short of £250 inc VAT, I have a brand new std one that we fitted to mine before the paint went bad that you could have if you wanted.
