sod off you git, ive been struggling at work all day

Carl, did your premium go up when you declared your induction kit? Did you have your test, my mind has gone blank! lol

Tris Harris said:

Basically...

Carl is insured by Jeep for £2100 with a £200 excess or something along those lines.

They wont cover him to have alloys, bodywork or engine modifications on his car, but his GSR kit is declared.

Turn up smart be polite use a few manors, Your attitude says a lot about you and how the instructor will react....

go in smart clothing that you are comfortable in and sensible shoes (sounds daft but one of my sisters mates went in silly shoes)


make sure you can open the bonnet of your Driving instructors car and make sure you know your way round the engine compartment... (oil, water, screen wash, et all)


remember to check your blind spots (up the inside after your emergency stop)

Ta mate - you sure you aren't my driving instructor lol?!
I already am polite and know all my manners! I can pretend to be proper posh too so that might help haha!

Yeah, my instructor told me last lesson.... I always wear my conked out old nike's - comfiest ever.

I check the blind spots even when my mum is driving!

When I told my insurance company about my mods they didnt care about the wheels or the induction kit, just the lowering springs cost me. What do you pay?
Also whats the name of those side skirts, I likey likey.
Ste..

haha with swiftcover, declared everything and not charged a penny extra! £400 a year ftw! the only 'performance' (use that term lightly) mod i have on my car is the ol' K&N though. OEM FTW!

Fiat.

I pay 600 with admiral, but then 35 on top for lowering springs, and 25 for the GSR.

they are the standard FIAT skirts mate that came with the car! glad you like!

£660 mods declared woop woop
