Very nice, plenty of mods and more planned!!!!

I'd put my bet on the headers lasting less than 1000 Miles before they start to blow out of the flexi joints.

Keep the oem ones you take off and port them yourself, very easy to do and keep these for when the others break. It's not a case of IF they break but how soon

How much? With all due respect you are paying about 50% of the value of your car in insurance.

It has a lot to do with your postcode area, my postcode is SA** and that means that I get 'shoved' in with some rather 'nice' areas of Swansea.

I pay £1080 per annum full comp, garaged. I'm 39, Psychologist. Terrible price but it is by far the cheapest quote I got.
