I was hoping to do the whole "tadaaaaa" bit on his birthday and get a  reaction.
I guess I might get a  "Oh god dad's done it again" though. I'm learning a lot and changing mind more frequently than my underwear at the moment!

Will you be declaring mods to the insurer Joe? Might aswell not take out insurance if you're not  .
I was insured with Churchill for £1017 first year. Quite good but they don't cover mods until you're 25.

In regard to what P363 has said above. Does he like OE look kits, or big fiberglass kits?
Corsa's can look ace lowered on 15's and 16's on Standard bumpers. Loads of people (including me) have done this to keep insurance cost low.

Also try Directline. And if you're with Directline too, your son would get a nice discount.

A sly plan just ask him whether he think he'll by lloys for his car.......... then tactically find out what type ......................or get one of his best mates to have a chat about them with him
