Hi all,

Been browsing the site for a few days now as I am getting my ST on monday. Upgrading from a seat leon 1.4s and cannot wait! Moondust silver with blue side stripes, black and red interior, 07 plate.

Never tried any modifying before but have seen some really cool stuff on here that has tempted me to give it a go. So I apologise in advance if I ask any really really stupid questions, am sure there will be a few lol.

Going to start off slowly with the interior mods and see how I get on. Already want the leather gaiters, mats, maybe some speakers etc, Then in a couple of months might go for the K and N air filter etc.

Waiting for my directline overpriced insurance to end in November before I start trying out proper mods. Seen alot of posts on insurers and who is best to go for. Is there any insurers that dont charge everytime you add a mod or is it always dependant on what you change? or a fixed fee maybe?

Am away for the weekend and cannot wait to pick the car up on monday!

all insurers will add a price for mods, but some will not allow mods on there policy at all. some do first free too. the k&n is highly recomended by all members but i left mine 5 months before i did it and that made me appreciate it alot more. i havent really done any interior mods, people see the outside more.
no question is too stupid, youll pick it up as you go along. go and introduce yourself in the noob section aswell

and welcome

Welcome Ask anything you want, I was fairly clueless about cars before coming on here as for mods om the car pretty much everyone will charge but I'm going to use who ever Kake is with. He's got a supercharger and all his insurance documents says is: "Modified - Yes"

Welcome - I remember how I was before I picked it up. Bet you can't wait.

If you are planning to do several mods, there are more specialist insurers like Adrian Flux or Greenlight (who I am with ). I've heard some companies only charge an admin fee when you add mods (if they are within reason). I think some policies may be age dependant though (25+) If you are likely to stop at the K&N a more standard insurer may suffice anyway.
