Give Admiral a try. They have always been much cheaper than everyone else for me and they seem to be able to insure you on pretty much anything for sensible money.

When I was 24 they quoted me £1100 a year to insure an E39 BMW M5 V8 - madness!

I'm currently 27 and they are covering me fully comp on the GTI for £490 a year with £150 excess. I only have 2 years NCB.

Christ that's good!

Just got mine insured through Sky Insurance for £506, they also insure my mk2 and as they use a number of insurance companies (both of mine are with Chaucer) specialise in performance and modified cars. Daniel in sales has been very very helpful. Give them a call.

Oh and they treat membership of this forum as entitlement for a discount!!!

Bell, Admiral, Diamond and Elephant are all the same group. They will ususally price match each other, though, confusingly.  :grin:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?
