Try and get another quote dude but put your Parents or Girlfreind on the policy as named drivers.
It actually works out cheaper and you will always be fully comp.

I was being quoted £1200 for the Type R third party fire & theft, so I just put my mum & dad on the policy and went fully comp and it saved me £400.

Worth a try for sure mate and it should be cheaper

Thanks mate. I did try that but it turned out a bit more expensive for some reason. Not sure why I guess i can only wait one more year of being very carful and then when i am 21 i can have some proper cover

Small Update:

Bought a few bits off Ben which came today (Thanks mate ) So now i have an OMP front upper strut brace and a pair of G60 disc carriers. After work today i fitted the brace. Looks good but a little bit hidden. Handling seems a little better but i think to fully justify it i would have to crank up the hardness of the coilies Not going to fit the carriers until my current discs and pads have worn out. Otherwise its a bit of a waste of money.



As you can see i also gave the engine a little wash down. Also took a sneaky picture of the olop with his older brother

Very Nice Matt thanks again for taking it off my hands dude

280mm upgrade will be sweet too

Nice update
Loving the second photo of the two polos

Thanks guys. I am really trying to save up for some tyres so I can get these RC's on. I have cleaned them all up and given them a coat of seal. I just need a set of 80mm chrome BBS badges and the rubber and im away. Then maybe in the winter i will have them re furbed to new condition

i presume you mean younger brother? as the newer polo will be younger then yours

Oh yeah my bad... not thinking meant to say that

Hurry up and get the RC's on or i'll come and pinch them.

Ha ha im on the case! The thing is my bike has blown up and thats costing £100 to get re bored and then a piston on top of that. Then my mate is selling his wake board which i really want for the speed boat. Ahhhhhh so many things to get so little money

Small update:

Had the GTi in at work the last 2 days doing all the jobs that needed doing. It was quiet in the workshop so had a bit of help. So i have replaced:

- Cambelt
- Tensioners
- Waterpump
- Auxillary drive belt
- CV boots again
- Oil and filter
- Coolant
- The lower arm rear bushes as they were badly worn

Hope you like my precision tools



Then i found this



One split tensioner. I am so glad that i found this like this and not the hard way. Don't think it would have lasted much longer at all. So a very lucky escape. So now on the save for tires now that insurance and bits are paid for.... at last

Nice man. Wish I knew and had the facilities to do a lot more things to my car myself.

Gotta get my cambelt done this winter.
