That s a bit excesive though! Where do you live?! High crime rate area? Try a quote without any mods what so ever. Out of interest, how much is that?

Quinn are packing in sometime soon so wouldn't go near them, try Footman James, everyone speaks great things about them on here, got a quote for myself last week (18yo) and it was £700 approx. with wheels and arches modifications. They halved my current Tesco quota!!

Did you do a quote without modifications as well?

[lindy119]

heard it from our insurance brokers (CCG) who said that they've gone bump. However my mate's insured with them and hasn't heard anything yet so maybe its all hot air.....

Pass Plus is something that you do after you've passed your test which means you can then get a discount from most insurers. Its something like 6 hrs minimum of extra driving, had to do it in Rutland of course because it was FREE!
