Lol, i drive within every limit dec, im not fast, im more of a snail.

Most of the CHEAP places are cheap becuase they dont insure mods... So to be honest, your stuff. Dont declare the mods and get a cheap quote from someone like bell? But if you crash, ouchersss are you in teh rough. Up to you really.

at 17 with a modified car you are asking for trouble to be honest, its annoying even for me now at 21! I would just be prepared to pay a lot for your first year until you get a years no claims under your belt.
