£3000 on insurance for a corsa? think you could save £1300 for your next car? Just a thought?

Nah man i love the idea of big engine wee car, and i love my corsa too. Ive only had it about half a year so not time to change yet. I will maybe wait to tell the insurance company about it until i am 20 in nearly a year cos it shud drop a gud bit then. I have no ncb and 3 penalty points and live in nortern ireland so that will all add to the price also

My insurance will be 3000 if i ensure it b4 i am 20. It just depends if i can afford the engine and insurance in a few months i will do it then, but if i cant i will wait about a year till i am 20

Your post says you will wait till your 20 to tell the insurance company, not you will wait till you 20 to do the conversion!
