Best cancel the order then or just keep ringing around till you hit the insurance jackpot.  It isn't going to be cheap.

You are going to struggle massively to get insurance on £22k group 17 car at 19.

You ordered the car without even looking for insurance? :shocked:

Im reasonably young (22, although 21 when I took the insurance out) and got a good price from Greenlight Insurance. You could try them.

I found insurance at 1500 with money supermarket with admiral but despite me entering the car details correctly when i go on admiral it comes up as GOLF 2.00 N/A ??? so its not a gti clearly but isnt that down to them if they have screwed up ?

No as you havent taken out the insurance yet. Your just trying to get a quote.

Im a little confused. Are you saying that the MK6 GTI isnt an option on the insurance website? If it isnt then your going to have to phone them up for a quote.

TBH it sounds like you have got yourself in a bit of a pickle, I would call up admiral and see what they say. I highly doubt they will do it for £1500.
