When I rang Tesco they told me I would have to have a tracker fitted on my MY97 turbo. I am 26, married, work in law, got 7 years NCB. Only mods are exhaust, filter and spoiler.

Admiral offered me the great price of £1100 to renew with them. The best quote I have had to renew so far is £820 with Bell Direct. A male friend who has a Seat Ibiza Cupra Sport is insured with them and he recommended them to me.

I have my insurance with Tesco also:
Car: MY00 Standard UK
Age: 22
NCD: Zero
Accidents: 1
Occupation: Self Employed
Area: W.Mids
Security (required by Tesco): Tracker & Cat 1
Garaged
Excess: £1000
Cover: Fully Comp SDP+Business use

How Much? £2300ish...not bad i thought compared to others.

Rang them last week as I was considering alloys and exhaust sys....how much? Over £200 for exhaust and Over £300 for alloys!

I think the intial premium is cheap but when you need extras they charge £££s for somehting other insurance companies would not charge you extra for.
