it doesn't as the engine of the 1.4 is quite a bit more expensive when i got a few quotes, and at 17 like jamie is then insurance will be high enough on the 1.2 anyways.

maybe maybe. what groups are they though? 2 and 3? i just know some insurers penalise heavily for mods, especially performance ones because it shows obvious intent on making a car faster, most likely for faster driving.
im only talking from my experience really. my first car was a saxo furio, which is a 1.4, with alloys stuck on the cheapest quote was about £850, if i had a standard VTR (1.6) then there were quotes at about £750. mainly because the people who quoted cheap wern't interested in quoting a saxo with aftermarket alloys.

the fact is though that the majority of 17yr olds (yes here we go with the stereotype) with modified cars do not declare the modifications 
i was only curios thats all as you said its your car.just think you are trying to change it into something it will never beand yeah i didnt know what age you are?good luck with the transformationvery strange i am curios why do all this to an gp active 1.2 am i correct????and spend all that money for so little gain and the exterior enhancements to.why didnt you get a sporting instead 1.4 or even a activesport 1.4.you will get little back in return when you sell it very costly. imo

They Retail for 159+VAT i Think
£159 + delivery (VAT included)
Some RRs are sometimes slightly ... optimistic.
The car was unusual quick in picking up on the RR. Although we were surprised about the result for a 1.2, we were not surprised that the result were as high the way it picked up.
Might be that accidentally the 1.4 engine was fitted or the 1.2 head was fitted on a 1.4 (small difference externally).

Looks good mate. I would definately get it on another RR though, it just doesnt seem right. At least then you cant argue with 2 results the same from 2 different companies.
Age is the main factor i would imagine. I know how high my insurance is on my 1.9 and im 3 years older than Jamie. I dread to think what it would have been for him, let alone the extra to buy the car in the first place.

where? i din't know.
and i think the car should be tested again at a different place to see the difference because fiat couldn't have been so wrong surely, but i suppose they do it in different conditions and take an average.

Ive thought about getting a kit for mine in order to try and get rid of that typical diesel sound but i dont know anyone who has one on a 1.9 so i dont know how much difference it will make.
