hi! welcome to the forum
your ecu is reprogrammed, it makes your car go like a rocket, but i'd check with your insurance company first as your only 17

 

[PNL]

115 bhp to around 160 bhp and vroooom

Best tell your insurance if your getting it done ..and if you want it done check out the next R/R day in the events section

 

[tobiasnugent]

hopefully it shouldnt be much more because my dads on teh insurance currently its a grand for insurance

 

[JFL]

a grand for insurance, are you insured as a learner on your own poicy with him as named, or are you under his policy with him taking insurance?

looks a nice car and welcome to the jtd club

 

[tobiasnugent]

when i pass it will be a grand and he is the named driver

 

[Rich_65402]

i wouldnt count on it my Punto was a grand when i was learning, and they told me it wouldnt go up when i passed and guess what it nearly doubled, what company are you with????

oh btw welcome to Fiat Forums

 

[tobiasnugent]

well i went on confused.com and put the details in that i passed today and got a quote for one thousand and something

 

[Rich_65402]

they always give me stupid quotes

 

[serin]

yes, but is that with you as the main drive, or as a named secondary one?

anyway,nice stilo!Wish I could of afforded something like that when i was that young

 

[JFL]

a grand for insurance at 17, you are seriously having a laugh , i pay £1300 at the moment with 1 years no claims, going down to a grand when i get 2 years

seriously, expect something near twice that

 

[tobiasnugent]

iam not havin a laugh my dad has over nine years and iam second driver its a thousand pound

 

[tobiasnugent]

 

[JFL]

as far as i know, not meaning to have a dig or be rude of course

if you are the main driver of the car, you should be driver number one with licence held 0 years and 0 ncb

and your dad should be the 2nd driver, i have my mum on my policy as a second driver and it reduced it, as she isnt the main user (she doesnt use it at all, except to move it on drive ). try yourself as driver no 1 with dad as 2nd

just airing my view on the matter

Just leave the noob alone, hes got his qoute, proved it to us that he can get it for £1000 so long as its legal then theres no probs, for those of same age and have higher qoutes i guess you shouldve researched more or shopped around further IMO they should never have allowed second driver, main driver etc to lower policy prices if you have a car you should be on own policy and thats that

welcome to forum

 

[tobiasnugent]

well id rather pay a thousand then two thousand just to be main driver

 

[AppleSei]

well id rather pay a thousand then two thousand just to be main driver

however you may not build up your ncb as a second driver with some policies check the small print/t&c's

 

[Rich_65402]

true, you got a good quote there , better than mine, i dunno why mine is so high for a group 3 car, lol.
