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 shouldnt, but what the fcuk
:grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
get an OLDER named driver with a good record added as a named driver :wink:
-
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
-
Adrian flux won't allow my parents on the policy, and I am in a low risk area :) it doesn't really matter, I can love with the car for another year lol, might even fix the engine now haha!
-
The only reason i would't want to be 18 again!!!
-
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.
-
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 :)
-
good deal then!!
-
Best fix your car then :rolleyes: :grin:
-

looks like I'm gonna lol
-
Bell offer cover for 3rd party mods for an optional extra ;)
Mines buttons with Bell, 23 fully comp on my Golf for £400 pa - and that's a full 12 month jobby

wouldnt 3 mods on a gti be better than a smoking gl?
shocks/springs, exhaust, wheels. sorted.
means you can get rid of the quad lights too :wink:
-
Not when I'll still have to pay £1000+ for a GTi and 3 mods, plus I much prefer the way my car looks as opposed to just 3 mods on a GTi, this includes:
- Wheels
- Coilovers
- Twin backbox
- Aero front wipers
- Aero rear wiper
- Hella Quin headlights
- Extra smoked rear lights
- Smoked side repeaters
- Smoked front indicators and blanking plates
- Black badge front and rear
- All interior audio covered
I feel it's great value and no doubt if they ended up making a payout then the amount for my mods alone would pay for a GTi lol

Screw being young, I'd rather be old and grumpy with cheap car insurance than young and happy with ridiculous car insurance. :smug:
-
i might have to buy a 3rd car, footman james 3 car policy, works out cheaper, all 3 fully comp, for . . . . . :lipsrsealed:
-
I'm very old but never grumpy! :rolleyes:
:laugh:
-
Might seem daft but have you asked how much the policy went up if you fitted a GTI engine.
-
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:
-
Lol - gotta love the retardedness of insurance companies!

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. :)

Just make sure engine swap isn't going to cost more than selling GL, buying a GTi and insuring :P cos that wud suck :P

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