Lol I past at 23 and still I got quoted £1300 on a punto 1.2! So the quotes you're getting isn't bad at all. If you wish to modify your motor soon then ask insurers how much premium is likely to increase and whether parts get replaced like-for-like. It's best knowing beforehand
Best to talk to all the insurers and talk nonsense about another insurer asking for less, which gets them to decrease their quote. Try Endsleigh who usually give good quotes if you're a student and a young driver.

all you can really do is just shop around! ive heard a lot of good things about quinn direct recently, seem to be doing well atm. i'm with endsleigh, no mods on a 1.0. original quote last jan was 1250 with windscreen cover, renewal this year was 750! no idea on mods, as i aint done any, but i suspect if you call the company and beg enough they'll be nice

good luck with it all mate
