My Bug costs me £420 TPFT and I seriously doubt I could insure a Polo for anywhere near this cheap, the problem is that because its a classic policy I don't get a no claims bonus.

How is it you go about getting insured under a parent's name? I have a couple of mates who do it but I've never tried.

Insurance?

Hey guys I was wondering what you all are paying to insure your Polo's? I'm 19 and my main ride is a 69 Bug but come winter I really want a MK3 Coupe to drive around in but I know that because of my age insurance probably going to be killer so I'm kind of looking for some idea's.

Who are ...

To insure a G40 under you, is cheaper than insuring a 1.3 CL under me lol. Shocking. Ahh well, I'm working on Pass+ see if that helps a little.

Karl.

If theres one thing I've learnt since I passed my test its that the 'Pass Plus' doesn't count for s**t. I'm 18 and Direct Line quoted me £1300 ...

Insurance

What do you all do about insurance? I've been getting some seriously scary quotes for 1000 and 1300 Polo's and having gone through this hassle before getting the bus looks all the more appealing :roll:

Your car looks alright mate but to be honest and without wanting to offend you, its just a bit too 'Max Power' for my tastes.

'Memories' :D
When I worked in a body-shop those bloody rubber strips were the bane of my life, VW (in particular) used REALLY strong glue. I seem to remember using a product named 'Speedy 500' along with a filler spreader to get them off

So what is the standard size for a Polo? Don't worry I'm not of the 'bigger must be better' school of thought.
