I have no idea! So many things I want to do but my bank balance is low...and insurance went up £50 for adding my alloys - wouldnt be too bad except if i make a claim...they wont cover them [:@] but longterm plans - tints, lowerage :) erm...not too sure if it needs much else. want a personalised plate but that isnt really a mod lol :)

Found the perfect plate for me.. But seller wont budge from £3.5K :blink: :(

I still think tints should lower insurance as it increases the security for your car.. i.e. Stops a thief looking in and seeing something they want!

Doing any little cosmetic mods for interior?

ouch! i just want one with my initials, kfc so i could get a semi decent one for about £245 from dvla so thats not too bad! :) yeah il just have to wait and see...might do pass plus because that apparently lowers your insurance by 1/3 which would be good :) havent really thought much about interior although i would love a touch screen system of some sort :)

yeah will do thanks :)
lol i dont really mind that mines a 1.2...i bought it cos i liked the look of it not the engine size :p been passed just under three weeks...no near collisions yet so its all good :)

no near collisions, that's pretty good so far, I was unlucky and someone decided to ruin my rear bumper within the first two weeks of passing (insurance companies can't get a hold of the guy, so still a stupid £400 excess out of pocket)

If you're looking at touch screens, I'd say Pioneers are the best ones, had mine for about 5 months now and I really can't fault it!

Just like my touch screen :D

Worth doing Pass Plus .. If you can do it through the same instructor.. then he/she normally tick off half of it as you would of done it doing your normal lessons. I done it and saved me about £400.. Back in the day :happy:

£400 excess - try having a £600 excess. :( i really cant afford to have a claim lol.

well my instructor said he would be able to do it, on a saturday morning 6-12 so might be worth it. And yeah....lowering might be happning sooner than expected...one of my springs snapped last night. BOOO:(

600 quid??? Who the hell are you with. and what's your premium?

admiral, original premium was about £730 with my provisional - went up £93 when i passed then another £50 for my alloys. i set my voluntary excess at like £350 because that dropped the premium but then they added a "young persons excess" ****ing joke if you ask me but its all paid for now so im not too fussed. wouldnt like to see how much id be if i was a boy! lol

Try £2040 (the £40 being me having 5 doors!) So about a grand more for being a boy, I only have my mates to blame. 3 of them have already wrecked/written off their cars, and one of them wrote of his courtesy car as well whilst his one was in repair. Stoopid drivers they are, never know how they ever passed

Think I've already looked at admiral and was about £2800 for me lol.

What insurance company are you with, as I remember you saying you paid only £50 more for the wheels, where as I'm looking at another £1,500 (?)
