I was getting quotes of 1900 a couple of month ago, i refreshed it the other day and it shot up to 3000! for exactly the same details :er: so I'm in the same boat. Unfortunately so is "suzuki-rob" He's had to sell up after spending many hours and pounds getting his suzuki ready, to end up in a polo because the insurance was going to be 4000!

As soon as i put down its had any mods there isn't that many companies want to know, and them that do want £6500!

If you got a mrs or parent you can insure with, use admiral multicar, my insurance was 1900 on its own, and the mrs was 1200, im only 23 she's 25, we used multicar and it came to £1100 for the both of us on our own vehicles. (1.4 tigra and my del sol) then cost me £0 to transfer over to my vit!
