My Polo GTI

Thought i'd post some pics of my car as I had nothing to do.

Not really done much to it.

Sorry about the quality of the pics. The light was getting bad. The only mods I have done are:- colour coded front splitter, front black badge, Apline headunit and removing the rear polo badge.

What do you guys think?

Holy moly, when i was 19 i was driving a 1.1 fiesta, the insurance on that was outrageous then, i dread to think what premiums your paying for a Polo

Well I'm paying about Â£2k (went up because I got my bumper smoothed)

I'm 19 and my first car is a mk4 16v.

But I never thought anyone could get insured with a mk5 GTi as their first car! Having said that, my brothers first car was a Pug 205 GTi and oh my were his mates jealous

Anyway, your car's looking good

For me Elephant.co.uk is the best quite a bit older then u young boys 27, Â£350 fully comp 5yrs no claims.....

Tried many places but elephant was best for me, when I had my mk4 polo with was moded all declared alloys, full exhaust, lowered, induction kit it was only Â£400 some places was asking me upto Â£800

I'm with Elephant, they're the only ones that would quote me, well for under Â£2.5k anyway. It started at about Â£1800 but then I got my bumper smoothed so it went up Â£17 a month.

I'm on the 10 month bonus accelerator to get a years no claims quicker, because I was only a named driver on the last car, although I haven't made any claims.

Its not actually insured in my name. I was getting quotes of Â£5k and then tried EGG the card company. They quoted me Â£2.2k. So I decided to get insured under my mum's name as the second driver. That worked out to about Â£800. Then my dad said he wanted to get insured on the car and because he has 3-points on his license it went up to Â£1k. The reason I went under my mum's name is because I would have had to pay over Â£1k anyway after I turn 21 and I know I would have lost alot more money insuring it under my own name.

I also forgot to mention that when I bought it, it had a Short shifter fitted to it.
