to be honest from the new drivers I have spoke to unless you are female 2 grand is normal
this is why we have uninsured drivers as the ins co's extract the urine

Try footman James, Or Adrian Flux. I was with Adrian Flux for the 1st year when i was 18 with a 998 with alloys and that, I payed just under 900 quid. Im now with footman james for 300 quid.

should i just put a standard exhaust on my car?

[leaky]

Im with performance direct. Im 17 its my first car. Stage one kit and 1275 head and its £1250. Do you mum or dad drive. If they have got good no clames then pop them on your insurence and weirdly it brings it down.

You also might want to try Adrien Flux. IF you sign up to TMF+ you get 10% of your quote.

I'm also with Footman James, but you have to call them to get a quote. Their web wnt give you a quote if you're under 25 I've got a standard 998 and i pay 300. Maybe consider putting the old exhaust back on? Might save you a bit.

Think im correct in saying footman james doesnt earn you no claims bonus though?
