Looking to do my test in about a month, hoping to get a corsa before then(first car), just wanted to know how much will be added on to an insurance quote roughly if i was to get some alloys,exhaust and a few other things?
Also what are the risks of buying at an auction? thanks

Some auctions dont let you test drive the car and you can only hear it running when it enters the room or something. Also you have to be very quick, my parents went to blackbushe auction and they said it was to quick.
Although you may get a decent car, depends on what type of corsa you are looking to buy b or c?

Most likely a corsa B, what about the insurance, e.g how much more will it be with mods such as alloys, exhaust etc?

I dont personally know mate, ring up one insurance company and see what they say. My insurance was £1700 last year and i was 17 with a standard 1.0 12v Corsa, that was with directline. If that helps.
