Got full cover with AMI for $550 per year. Is this decent? Keeping in mind I'm under 25. I assume it's a good deal considering insurance for my last car was almost double.

Ring Swan and see if you can get classic or modern classic cover. I found they were by far the cheapest and I'm in the same boat

Thats looks pretty good and with a good company too. Its a little dependant on price that you insured it for. Very nice ride. Awesome!

Awesome SW20. I'd say that is a very rare model being NZ new, Rev4 and the silver with metallic black roof and mirrors.

Yea, they didn't make that colour combination for very long and I don't know of any others which were NZ sold.

Pre wired for fogs which is nice to know if I decide to install some. I've had a look online and it looks relatively straight forward. Any one actually done it?

If it's pre wired then you'll need to check what type of fog lights to get. Some turn and others don't. That will also dictate the in cabin switch you'll need.

How do you know which ones and how do you know the difference?
