conversion for cheap insurance?
« on: 02 September 2011, 23:10 »
hi, i'm 17 so insurance is incredibly expensive at the moment. i was wondering is there a different car that would be cheaper to insure, but i could then fit the mark 2 boddy shell/fairings on as i love the look of the mk2 golf but cannot insure the car. not worried about the performance...just looks. is it possible? if so, what would be the best car to convert?
i know it would be loads of work , but im after a project :)

hope this makes sense? ..it does to me :P

thanks

My lad has a 1.6 driver and is 18... His renewal has just landed (coverbox) and its £1300.00 but that's using my 9 years NCB and him not getting is own NCB....

I've just swapped to Admiral on a multi car policy and I have saved £400.00 and I can add him to the policy and his policy is £1400.00 but this is the important point he has his own policy with his own NCB...

It's worth shopping around and looking further than "Go Compare" etc....

His policy will also cover BBS RM's as they were Std Golf alloys (sort of) and also other GTI add on's as they are not performance items.....
