Direct Line - £495.00
Norwich union £795.00

These were without Decalring Mods (KW Coilovers / Air Filter)

I View all insurance companys with a fairly large amount of sceptisism but I find it Bizzar that the range of quotes is so wide.

WTF? :s Lol. Never come across that before and here's me thinking insurance companies hated modifications.

Have you actually taken the policy out yet mate ?

 

[The Boosh!]

nope, i took a reference number and told them id be in touch when i get the car

It varies so much, one person gets a great quote with a company, but another person may not, so the try this company they gave me a good quote often doesnt work out

 

[catt]

With insurance there are so many factors which come into play, the prices will vary because each company has a different stance on what are the best 'risks' as such, so you'll find one at £500 and another at £2000, you just really have to do your shopping,

As said above the rule of one company being better for everyone isn't always right, it's more down to the area, as that company obviously rates it as good, but in your area could be bad.

Small Country Villages FTL then LOL

Just heard from A Plan - £895.00 Not great!

 

[Harpham]

I think its ridiculous...
Before my clio, i had a modded Punto Mk1... With my dad as the main driver, it was £620 last year with BDML. I have now swapped that for my 2003 Clio 1.1 16v, and i couldnt believe their renewal price (bear in mind the clio was standard at that time)... £1500..
So from a modded up Punto, to a standard Clio, it has more than doubled the premium.!
Hmm, sack that! Im with Admiral now, on my own policy!

Just got a couple More Quotes -

Flux £492.00

Brentacre £480.00

 

[The Boosh!]

Brent acre best so far.

Check out Bell Insurance, they are part of Admiral but worked about £200 cheaper than any other quote i got.

Also adding a female named driver will lower your premium too.
