Nice motor and welcome to PH. One word of warning if you are the main driver and not your partner then you are commiting insuance fraud and your insuance is invalid.

If you are the MAIN driver, then it's insurance fraud. I'm sure you're not though.

Yep - really nice first car. I'm sure some people will comment on the wheels being too small, but I reckon it's only a matter of time before the current trend in huge rims reverses, and we'll all be driving on 205/65's again. I think they look smart smile

Regarding the insurance - does it bother you that you aren't building NCB for yourself? If you're aiming for a group 20 motor in a few years, then you'll be needing some good discount.

yeah i guess that is a down side, although i have found a few compaines who give NCB to both people on the policy, but it was £110 more than my current on, if i had the money i defo would do it but i couldnt at the time, as for the wheels, they look alot smaller in the flesh lol

Nice first car, even if you are 21.

Some companies allow you to pay more to have one of the nominated drivers to be the main driver.
