[It was "seems they don't want me to bring my Coupé here"] I just tryin' to find out an insurance, I moved to London just few months ago and I would like to have my car here, but I've seen crazy quotes lookin' around, about several thousands Anyone knows a foreign-friendly ( ) insurance? I've got a perfect driving history, 29yo, 10yrs of driving license and NCB, no claims, anything, the car is LHD and hardly modified. I can use my italian registration an insurance for 1 year, but after?? I need to know how much I'm going spend... Thank you to all in advance

Glynwood can't provide me a quote, and Adrian Flux didn't reply yet. I'm living in Earls Court for the moment, but this area is too busy and expensive, I would like to move outside in the future.

Would changing your plates straight away to UK make any difference?
Take a look over towards East London places are much cheaper. That's what I wanna do, but I need an uk insurance and the mot for the registration! Greenlight ask for 2 years of uk insurance to become a customer and I have to be an uk resident since 3yrs min.

directline seems to be the cheapest... 905£ It's the first I've seen under 2-3k.
Probably I'll go for an insurer like this and wait a couple of years to meet the criteria for GreenLight or similar.
Thank you guys

This seems very unfair on drivers wishing to come over with their car.
Out of interest what do all those Poles do when they come over? Do they drive on our roads without insurance or even an MOT for year after year? simply they always say they brung the car just a week ago, or something like this, as you have six months to register it. And they continue to use their insurance. In Italy I pay something like 300£, but I wanna have the car registered here as required.

They do the same in Italy, as you need to register your car as well, but they risk to be prosecuted and often that's happen. For me, I have to register the car because of the several modifications. In Italy you haven't the opportunity to use a modified car on the streets, I mean... you're not allowed by laws, you do it at your risk. So if I use the car here, I think that would be a problem to pass the MOT and declare the modifications to an insurance if nothing appear on the documents (even the tyres fitted)

Can i simply return the wg pipe inside the main exhaust before an high flow race cat? Will be fine? Otherwise backpressures may be a problem... I've seen a couple of 16v engine with big turbos like GT3076R and internal wg housing, seems to be working, but nothing outperform the external one concerning pressure control and stability, so I would prefer to keep it. This was the first installation, just to have some fun Now ends at the center of the car, it's quite simple to make a Y. I'm going to remove one of the silencers because of the cat. System is custom made, it's also a problem? Thank you a lot for helping me!

My problem is mainly the registration, if you can put it on UK plates then I can try and help. I will speak to the insurers and email you if I can .

Surely having an external wastegate pipe won't cause issues, as no exhaust gas comes out of it at idle or the static 2500rpm test, so all you should need is a cat on.

Yes plumb it back in before the cat, this is my my design I built for LE 074. Yess so this will be another point on the list. I'll bring the car for a check-up and the installation of a sport/race cat (100 cpsi will be fine?), I'm worried about backpressures as I was running a 70mm exhaust with external wg. We'll see... My problem is mainly the registration, if you can put it on UK plates then I can try and help. I will speak to the insurers and email you if I can .
Regards sarah Glynwood Isnurance Thank you so much, I'm not sure I can do the registration without an UK insurance, that's my loophole.

Yes, but I always drive slow on the streets if the problem will be only the 30£ charge, I'll take the risk
