Hiya chaps,
Here goes another flat wipers thread then! I want to get them from halfrauds if I can, as I've got a trade discount card and wipers are cheap as chips.
Do any of the halfords sets fit onto my pug? It's a 2001 GLX.

You need the Bosch Retro fit ones 21" both sides.
Halfords will have to order them in normally

Yes halfords do a set of flat wiper in Valeo range! I think it works out on trade at about £16 for the set as you have to buy then individually

The valeo ones should fit and the sizes are on the shelf, i've fitted a lot of them to other cars and they seem to be just as good as the bosch ones.
The bosch aero flats i would guess would be order in only, but i bet there expensive considering from camberley auto factors they are £32 for a set, so with halfords i would have thought would be more (not on trade) as they add their bit on top to make money.

Valeo hmm, my local halfrauds has the colour coded "Halfords" brand wipers, then a few bosch ones at the end, but none marked Valeo?

Valeo stuff is usually in a green box isnt it?
Anyway, I got told at my local halfords that none of their own brand wipers are retrofit and basically they told me that its impossible to get any wipers that will retrofit 
Im using the tesco aero wipers at the mo and thay are really good, providing you get the right size
