Im 20 and own a 2.0 aswell, insurance on it is alot but the quotes i got on 1.8t were nasty! i think when we reach 21 the price drops considerably :D least you got the 2.0 in a nice colour! Havefun with the badges.

Lol insurance is a joke on a turbo for me. Rather wait tbf instead of paying silly money. Either 1.8 turbo or ek9 next i rekon.

I had 2-3 years NCB at that point. I'm 21 now with 4 years NCB and think my insurance was #800 with mods declared!
