Main ones are air filter, exhaust and alloys. Other mods are cosmetic e.g. Chrome bumpers instead if black, chrome grill etc... I've contacted graham sykes and Adrian flux, who else? Both were around £2750 tpft, graham Sykes Rose £300 after sending pictures despite telling them everything...

Stick with adrian flux for mods, when i was 17 i rang around probably 10 different places and adrian flux were the best. I paid £2700 at 17 with more mods than you, so consider that a good price

Add your dad as a SECOND driver!
I was adding my dad until my 30th birthday!
It is likely to bring the premium down!
Is there anyone else you could add with a good driving record ??

£2753, absolute idiots they can whistle if they think I'm paying that, they've said it looks like a Mini Cooper but said the mods don't affect premiums? Sure. Either that or I'm going through an absolute simpleton!

Can't declare the list of mods on a comparison site that's the thing. I've got 22 mods but none are anything major...

On some of the sites you can, put both parents as name drivers and lower mileage to as low as possible I'm cycling as well on my first year to save mileage then next year it's £600

Are any of those Andrian flux/ Graham sykes agreed valuation?
If not your best to go on the comparison site!
Also chrome bumpers, chrome grill - Your being too honest! 
some cars come with it anyway!

No that's what I mean they never mentioned anything like that, run by a set of monkeys. I know I'm being too honest but I'd rather give them no reason to be dicky if it ever came to it....
