Most insurance companies wouldn't insure you on a cooper s until your 21.

Unless you have money to burn, it really is not worth it. You'll end up killing yourself.

im sure i could live with that, but what i don't get with my insurer is that they have told me that if i add none performance enhancing extras such as alloys etc. my premium wouldnt go up and they didn't include my alloys and spoiler on my insurance cover sheet so i presume that i would just have to put the value of my car up to cover the alloys etc.?

My sentiments exactly, dude get a ONE, theres nout wrong with em.

I honestly do not believe that ANY insurance company would look at a 17 year old still with a Provisional on a 160bhp+ Turbocharged car.

I live in a village in the middle of no where, been driving for well close to a year, no claims or points and they companies wont even touch me on a Cooper, never mind an S

You have a Mini One, with bits of a Cooper S bolted to it.

I nearly got an S but insurance was around £3k (19 with 1 years NCB).

I settled for a newer Cooper in the end and my premium is £1,100

I'll get an S at some point though!
