Ok so was in Halfords yesterday and my mate applied for the Halfords Trade Cars, entitles you to UPTO 60% off selected items, tools, consumables, parts etc. NOT Ripspeed stuff.
He spent about £120 and saved £35, and only one of the items wasnt discounted. And that was mainly on the pro range of tools and a few parts.
Anyhow was looking on the web tonight and i see that its not just for 'trade':
"We have also introduced a Halfords trade card into virtually all stores to
encourage more committed home car mechanics and smaller garage proprietors to
purchase an increasing amount of their parts requirements from our stores. Early
results from both initiatives are encouraging."

This means that i'd guess we'd be classed as more committed home car mechanics.
I also see the VxON Vauxhall Owners Club have something worked out.

I havent asked yet about getting one as thought they were JUST for trade, but by the looks of the company statment obviously not.
I would suggest that this would be a great benefit to us. Even if all the FIAT sites have to club there respective weight behind this to get it going.
Dont get me wrong i normally buy my parts from elsewhere, but halfords tools etc are excellent and with the discount the parts etc are as cheap as my local motorfactors, plus with better opening times.
