Lovely looking car. Now to insure it.
Did a go compare search for my son as a named driver in my STI hatch today. My premium + £6000. He is 19 and only passed his test on Christmas eve. Only 2 companies would quote.
Regardless of the price, he's not getting to drive my car anytime soon.

He knows sod all about cars so would probably start asking stupid questions like "how do I get 500 BHP out of my TD04"
Plus I wouldn't want him cramping my style !

I’m not a massive fan of the bugeye but them headlights transform the look, looks mean, plus the addition of the splitter make it look very nice...
