Its like a golf ball, the pitted/dented surface actually helps airflow and lets you go faster!

I did try getting insurance (when I pass my test) and it was well over 4k for standard and 1.3 engine however if I say its been modified here and there the insurances tots up to well over 7k
But to be honest I wouldnt drive her on the road because I think I wouldnt enjoy it as much when I go off roading in it thats reall why I bought a trailer so I can modify it more and more and not worry about the insurance!

That reminded me of something sorta funny depending on who you are.
A colleague of mine attempted to take a 14' trailer under a 12' bridge. It became aerodynamic.
Thats mega expensive! I love driving mine anywhere. At least you can do as you please with it. Keeping it road legal and MOTd incase you ever do want it on the road?
