What do you mean by fiddle? Haggle with them? but then says what haha my insurance is £350 a month on a 1.0 but it's pay as you go so when I turn 18 I will be taking out a full policy so I can pay it monthly but it needs to be a lot cheaper than what I'm paying now cos it's killing me! Lol

jesus i think i would walk instaed :/
you're been robbed,
i mean wen you fill in insurance online, you have to keep changing like bits like location, cover, garaged or not, mileage, excess, just so it brings it down, to the lowest possible

I would too tbh, only way I can get to work and that though!

I live in a little village in a dead end not on a main road, garaged, £250 excess, 5000 miles, TPFF, mum and dad as second drivers, no mods declared

It's the cheapest I could find for the time being... Horrible paying it every month, only 2 more months to pay till I'm 18 so it's not too bad but still!

yeah gaz i would try them....yeah the police will notic things like lowered 60 mm, any stupid back boxes they shouldnt be bothered about just small ones, alloy's but if they are vauxhall ones you could say it come with them :thumbs:, dont insure your stereo and speakers etc, you would just have to take them as a loss if anything happened :thumbs:
