Should of kept your corsa then, and not spend money on making your gti quicker 
They are very slow, but nice cars, more of a "my wifes just had a kid and need to chuck the kids in the back" kind of car, rather than a 17/18 year old to buy it. in my opinion anyway.
Hate the wheels on the one you posted, but car is nice 
As for insurance....

thing is i drive the gti, its great fun, this prob wont be for a few months if i do, but you cant go over 70 legally, you get there bloody quick in my gti, and thats it! i have 3 points before i would need to retake my test and dont like that idea!
anyway i love the gti, but i see these and cream my pants!

Takes longer to get to 70mph in the BMW but feels like your doing less, might be more likely to get points!
I know 100mph + in a BMW and feels like your hardly moving, so refined and comfortable

im pretty sure that 318 coupes are group 13/14 and your gti is group 15 so you REALLY shouldnt have a problem getting insured!.. have a look on parkers at the insurance groups...

Bollocks, have any of your tried insuring a 3 series at 18?
106 GTI for me next year is £1100
318 is £2340
328 is £2500
