H3NRY Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I know there are a lot of other factors, but as a new, young driver (17) but with 1 years no claims how much would i be looking at paying for a set of -40mm springs on my 1.0E?Just want to get an idea to help me make a more informed decision.Henry.

marcusgrant Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 sorry scotty, i'll try help the lad out.What colour is your lupo mate? for some reason this can have quite a bit difference as to how much your premium will change after you have lowering springs...must be to do with more boy racers have a certain colour of car? not really sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabbles21 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) haha you say that but my insurance was £200 less with a yellow lupo than with a black one. I presume it's related as all other factors were the same. Edited January 10, 2011 by jabbles21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabbles21 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Scotty was being serious. The point is only your insurance knows. If it helps, I would have to pay around £60 extra for coilovers per year. Like you say there are a number of other factors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treblet Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Brentacre don't insure under 19's and will charge you a fair bit if you're under 21.Even then insurance is still expensive until you reach 25... only 2 years to go for me!

scotty_82 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Nah, this was a massive waste of time really.It's been fun though.So you havent even done the simple thing and actually rang your own insurer and asked if there will be a charge.How simple are kids these days, do they want everything done for them ?FFS its a 5 minute call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
