This must be some sort of sick joke, they want £2K for the year if I change to a MK3 GTi 8v, but I just did what Wayne said and requested a quote for an engine change (2.0 8v). Guess how much they want?


Only £127!!!! WTF??!!! LOL!


I mentioned to them I'd upgrade the brakes and exhaust system along with the engine and all they want is £127!???! LMFAO! Looks like I might be in a GTi 8v sooner than I thought  :lipsrsealed:

Great result, will be easy enough to sort out.

Well as soon as my financial situation has gone, I'll be getting this on the roll hopefully nearer the end of October. :)

Technically yes as they emailed me the additional premium in the same type of document they have done everything else to me. :)
