tidyjoe Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 i'm joe, everyone calls me tidy though!decided to sell my 1.4 polo and found a 1.0 lupo which needs abit of love and attention. it's completely standard with some gash alloys on atm haha.soon to be decked and get some nice wheels on the go i've got a few questions:first, i'm 18 and will have a years no claims and a years driving in december, i'll also turn 19 then, how much do you reckon i should be paying out for insurance on a 1.0E lupo?second, what are good coilovers for the lupo? i had some ta technix on my polo and they were just bouncy as ****. thinking of spending more this time for a better rideand third, the lupo hasn't got power steering which i'm not too bothered about but just been wondering if anyone knows of power steering being fitted to a car and how much it would cost?i want a 280mm momo team wheel and i'm thinking it would be near impossible to steer at times with a wheel that small and no power steering?!thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidyjoe Posted November 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 haha :')i believe it does!should be getting the lupo next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAIRBear Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 haha i can imagine a momo and no power steering being fun!!! haCoilover wise, i had weitec GT hicons on mine and i cant fault them, i think they go for around the £500 mark. Personally if started from scratch again id just get some £120 jobbies. Loads of insurance threads flying about, probably not going to read anything you want to hear, id guess around the £1500 mark depending on postcode ect ect ...Welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidyjoe Posted November 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 really, what brand are the £120 ones? any idea on power steering being fitted anyone?£1500 would be ace for insurance. got killed with the polo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaZz Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 with one years no claims, you should be able to insure a 1.0L for under 1k! im coming up to getting my one years no claim, however i have almost 2 years driving, but a lupo sport is around 1k for me to insure. Try Admiral for insure, thats who i use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidyjoe Posted November 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 ah I'll have a look at admiral. would quite like to get insurance where I can declare my coilovers and wheels, as I've spent the last year with churchill and you can't have mods 'declared' until you're 25 :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaZz Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Again, Admiral do allow mods, i think the prices may be a bit harsh for mods though, i'm not sure, your probably looking at about £150 increase for lowering and different alloys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikemad04 Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) ah I'll have a look at admiral. would quite like to get insurance where I can declare my coilovers and wheels, as I've spent the last year with churchill and you can't have mods 'declared' until you're 25 :'(I was with Admiral and they wanted £100 odd to add coilovers and could only lower it by 50/60mm, Brentacre was the same price or maybe slightly cheaper than admiral for the policy, and you can add mods for no extra charge if they dont increase the BHP, Could be worth a try for you.

HAIRBear Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 philj's - i may be wrong on the price, £200 maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Are you running the rebel CP faction?I may have spat my dummy at the idiots who run the place. They have no sense of humour, it's actually worse than edition. I may be to blame for the 'general chat' area being removed. I bet they've even renamed the nazi mod area since they kicked Kam off.
