Looks like I might be making a GTi soon LOL!
« on: 09 September 2009, 16:07 »
I'm currently paying £650 annual for insurance on my GL with all mods declared which is damn good. I requested a price with changing over to a MK3 GTi 8v and it's just shy of £2000!!!!  :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:


I don't think so lol!


Looks like I'd be running the GL for as long as I can this next year, regardless of the piston rings being shot  :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed: :grin:

I added both my parents, brought it down £300 :D

I am still the owner and policy holder as well.

Ever considered moving to a low risk area? :P

heres a tip.

dont use adrian flux / hic / brentacre if you want it cheap. All of them carry massive 'modification tax'.

you'll find admiral /bell / elephant will be cheaper, and allow 3 basic mods (like wheels, 40mm springs, exhaust etc) for only a hundred or so extra, and will be a hell of a lot cheaper in the first place.
S4 Avant. Eibach springs. 18" Avus. RS4 Intercoolers. Viper Tuned. Goes Fast.

My renewal with admiral was £800! And their modification cover covers you, but if you have to make a claim, they will say for example, only put the standard wheels back on or the value of the original wheels, Adrian will give me back the value or the same as what's on there now, plus I have a lot more mods than just 3 which are all covered like for like, Admiral do not offer such a service, plus I'm paying £150 less on the same car :)
