Extra £160 for Bluefin on top of £578 per annum through sainsburys.

Did you have to phone them to get the BlueFin added?
I have a really good quote standard...but no option to add modifications.

I too am "old fart"

Same kind of demographic as you, but live in Sheffield (top 3 area for car crime :sad:)

Mine was £520 fully comp, no claims protected through Adrian Flux. If you are a member on UKMKIV's they do an extra discount too. :smiley:

I'm currently with AF on my modified Mk3 and modified Fabia vRS...and they have given me a decent quote - but want a Cat 1 alarm adding - sod that!
The quote is good - similar to yours, which bearing in mind the value, is spot on. I just don't want to have to add further alarms etc.
I didn't have to on my 911...why on earth they want if for a Golf is above me.

Did you need to add anything extra, security wise?

SHOW OFF!! :wink:

Along with being able to produce louder farts, paying less for car insurance is one of the few good things about getting old :grin:

Greenlight Insurance. Very mod friendly to the Mk5 Gti chaps. Lots of forum members use them or Adrian Flux

Just phoned them and they wanted the power advantage as a percentage which was a quater standard so the premium reflects this.

First of all I do not know if "remapping" is the same as "chiptuning" here in the Netherlands but I have a possibility to chiptune my MK6 gti for 750 euro
up to 250 BHP.
I am advised to tell nothing towards the lease company since they will take advantage and make a new calculation based on tires and fuel...
It seems if you can controle your right foot it is even taking less fuel... :huh:
My question first of all is howabout when I make an accident.....any experts on this...and ofcourse the big question anybody done this kind of chiptuning ....or a link will do fine... :cool:
