Question Cheapest windscreen replacement

Hi all
Have got a crack in my '03 blobeye WRX and need the screen replaced, not fussed if it's a non subaru one. Where the cheapest place to get it replaced and do they use the old trim around the screen or supply a new one? Auto glass quoted £499
Cheers

Default Cheapest windscreen

If you fancy a trip out, (70 miles), I can do it for £165 all in. Have glass and trim in stock.
