UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

hi, im really considering buying a polo gti with in a couple of months. just need to sell the car i lernt in that i dont even use!

who is the youngest with a gti? ive rang up my insurance place as my insurance runs out in a couple of months and will have 2 year ncb's. they've qouted me £1100. i think it seems quite goood, im 19.

you can get insured wen ur 17 .. but itll cost

££1100 is very good IMO

im 19 too, paying £415 for 9 months...not a GTI tho

Also what mods are out there, performance wise?

any decent coilovers? exhaust systems?
i have seen spring packages but would prefer to change the shocks aswell.
and there is a top gear by me, but they arnt that good for performance increases really...

coilovers, ask dubpolo, or check out his members rides pix.... nice n low

induction, BMC kits work well with the 1.6 16v, quite a few members like it

Elephant's quotes, for me at least, are sky high!!

I'm with Direct Line too, although a little older at 23 (nearly 24) with 5yrs NCB. £500 fully comprehensive, with a named driver (my Mum!) and protected NCB. Both these extras have added £100 to the quote, so would have been more like £400! Direct Line have great cover, great legal assistance if you need it and are really helpful IMO. Only one downside... they don't like to insure modified rides until you're over 25!

i'm 19! i pay £1200 under my mum!

coilovers ~ i'm running SPAX RSX -75mm

Engine ~ BMC induction kit seems to be the one everybody goes for. works really well and sounds great! forget everything else, just save up for NOS!

Brakes ~ good luck if you want anything bigger than you've got! a good set of pads and rotors sort them



buy a GTi, its one of the best things i've done since i passed my test!

btw if ur interested ive got a lovely silver gti thats up for sale...pm me if ur interested.....see post: http://www.tigerstyle.co.uk/poloforum/v ... hp?t=11539

I'm 20, got quoted £686 on a GTi by Privilege.

That is however with the policy in my Mams name, thus taking advantage of her no claims, but with me as he main driver somehow.

However with the policy in my name it would have been about £1050.

i'm 22 with 3yrs NCB and pay £740 though Adrian Flux - thats with all mods declared tho! (see pic below!)

def. get coilovers and a BMC most worthwhile mods i've got!

scott

see that qoute is me as the only driver, my mum never let me go under hers! and i dont live with my dad! that is who im with now, elephant. gonna shop around first though.

id like a black 1, possibly with the leather aswell!

Hi, you could try Bell Direct online also, direct line have always been dearer than elephant on the quotes we got, we have subaru and gti insured with elephant but I got a renewal quote from Bell direct which matched elephant quote.
