[NB 02 HOT]

ok i'm 17 and down as an additional driver. how much is my insurence likely to go up by if i have it lowered 60mm. ( with tesco if that makes a difference)

would be great to hear from anyone whos actually already done it under the same circumstances.

I'd check that Tesco even allow mods for people your age first.

i'm hoping it should be fine as im only down as an additional driver

Tesco are Ok with lowering only cheap £50 or so.

If your named driver on a parents policy and they are fronting you i.e the car is actually yours you are just after cheaper insurance (highly illegal), then lowering it will just add suspicion.
They are not stupid, 40yr old woman with a Clio declaring a bb4, tints, 17s and lowering, hang on a minute.......
Be careful is all im saying.

No i hope i'd be ok. its actually my dads car, he still drives it etc and i was just added on until his insurence runs out which is mid-january.

i'd understand it being bad if it was solely my car and they were just fronting for me but its not.

Your in the clear then mate! Admiral reckoned £50 for me on the same car.....

I guess so, was £50 for my alloys too, although admiral only replace non standard parts with standard ones in the event of a crash/ theft. Bit annoying adds to the cost of modding and puts you off, what starts off as a cheap addition soon escalates into your overdraft!

you no what i wanted to know the samething (tesco are cool with mods) but i only got to wait 3 months and i got my 1st years no claim and if its only 50 quid + looks like my clio get slammed 60-80ml lol

 

[NB 02 HOT]

well they didnt say no. she said something about a £20 admin fee (about that) and something to do with 5%.

would cost me £35. but that does seem high considering i only have 1 months insurence left

Young Drives + Mods = £££ unfortunately.

I payed £52 with NU to add my apex kit.
