Mods - have you told your insurance co?

I did a quote with and without the gruppe m and was astonished at the difference in price. Kwikfit wanted £500 odd extra ! Do you tell them or keep schtum - i think i know what I will be doing!

Told them bout my APs but not the rocket thruster fitted to the rear spoiler!

Yes. I'm amazed anyone would risk their insurance company using the non-disclosure of material fact to wriggle out of a claim.

Yes - always. Not worth the aggro 'in the event of...'

**mole** · 16-03-2009, 11:27 PM

Haven't got any

(mods that is, not insurance!)

I didnt look at the difference when I last renewed with the gruppe m on and was just shocked at the difference.

I will defo be shopping around for a quote this time round. Is there any recommended insurance co?

I had a similar issue when i had a Stage 2 mod done - it almost doubled my premium! Their justification: "It's already more than powerful enough as standard" Cnuts...

Anyway, i reverted to a Stage 1 tune to placate them. Cnuts...

Insurance gets my goat but is a necessary evil

definitely t*ssers!!!

Ive just tried an online quote via PH for Adrian Flux as they have 15% discount. Will see what they email me tomorow!

derek · 17-03-2009, 12:22 AM

im with Adrian Flux and the will match/beat cheaper quotes at time of renewal (with mods included)

Yep, I had to carefully find an insurer which would take the focus ST with remapping to just under 25% extra power. Coughed to the mods on the CSL and they were very interested to know if the APs were larger than std. I explained the calipers were, but they said they meant the rotors??? Coughed to the remap and explained no more peak power just smoother lower down and they weren't very bothered. I did have to tell them several times it was a CSL and not 'just' an M3 coupe...
