And haha, thought it would be!
Btw, I just tried a quote on your car ('d the plate from the photography thread) - £700 standard for me - the golf is just over £1000 standard for me (yes thats £100 more than last year lol) And your car lowered, with non standard alloys and a chip came to £974 for me lol...........hmm, if only I liked XUD phase 2s!
You will do well to "chip" and XUD though, its declared as big turbo, FMIC, pump mods, induction mods, lowered ~100mm, exhaust, smoothed bumper & boot, GTi interior, stereo alloy wheels and anything else I have missed on a like for like basis where most insurers will only replace things with standard parts if you have an accident..............
Plus its obviously going to be cheaper than the golf, its about twice the age with less power and worth about half as much in standard form
I used chip cos obv that covers power increase but you cant add fmic (as the title of the thread!
), and they won't do it on turbocharger without phoning either lol...but you see the point...............the MODS for your car are a lot cheaper than the same on mine. :? Its not twice the age....the golf is a 2001 lol. and anything over 10 years old seems to be cheaper (mines now 11...)..........and the power increase on yours gives it more bhp than the standard golf (only just, seeing as its same for 130 and 150 tdi
)...but still insurance is ridiculous.
