Just come across a good deal when looking for new wipers for my Pulsar.

The wipers that the pulsar uses for the front windscreen are Bosch A300S (The same front wipers as a Fiat 500)

I wanted to make sure I got a good deal when getting new ones so I decided to look in the normal places.

Halfords sell the Bosch A300S wipers for £34
With my trade discount they are still £27
EuroCarParts sell them for £33.99
With there current 25% off they come out being £25.50

But the cheapest by far was eBay which sell them for £17.50

I opted to get them from Amazon with Prime delivery for £17.99 with free two day delivery.
It really pays to shop around when looking for replacement wiper blades.


I then looked at the prices for a rear wiper blade.

The pulsar uses a Bosch H301 wiper blade for the rear of the car.

Halfords sell the Bosch H301 for £10
With my trade discount it is £6.50
EuroCarParts sell it for £7.59
With there current 25% off it comes out being £5.69

But the cheapest was eBay which sell it for £4.95
Once again I chose to get mine from Amazon with Prime next day delivery for £5.24

So for a full set of wiper blades for the front and back of the car you could pay £44 at your local Halfords
Or if you waited 2 days for delivery you could get them on eBay for £22.45 which is a massive saving of £21.55

Its a no brainer really!
