  • Car insurance for modified cars?

    Hi guys.

    I'm just wondering who to go with this year for car insurance as AXA no longer want to insure my DS3sport because of all the mods lol. Any suggestions? Cheers

          Yes- Admiral detail the extra power/ higher spec exhaust/ aftermarket wheels etc on the policy somewhere
          Mines up for renewal soon- will see what the sponsors to this site are like- cant remember their name (Tim at Prestige were it?)
          But had no issues with Admiral- actually pretty helpful and friendly

                Adrian Flux offer a discount to full members on C2. We don't have an insurance broker on here (yet).

                  Will give Admiral a look see then..cheers

                  @ Zack mod list:

                  Bastuck catback exhaust
                  Cobra lowering springs (40mm front/back)
                  Forge Intercooler, dump valve, boost pipes, oil catch tank & induction kit
                  17" ZCW R5 Wheels + Falken ZE914 Tyres (205/45R17) wanted 18" but couldn't find 'em, prolly for the best as the roads around here are shit lol
                  3DLED Rear Lights
                  Private plate
                  The usual LED/lamp replacements inside and out.
                  Working on the sound now, atm have an alpine head unit fitted and have all speakers/amps and sub (2x12" enclosure for teh base ) just need to fit 'em
                  Still waiting on Hangar111 to stock the downpipe so I can order that and sports cat at the same time for full Bastuck exhaust and ofc finish off with a remap

                    And they wouldn't insure you for THAT list ?

                    Jeez, I was expecting a rally conversion with a 4WD system...

                      I tried getting a quote for the Forge IC before I bought it and found they wouldn't insure it with a modified intercooler.. Just a heads up.

                        Quote me happy wouldn't insure me for any mods, I wanted to see how much extra it would cost for a new exhaust, and they said NOPE

                          My 63mm SS exhaust and sports catalytic converter which increased performance to 165BHP cost me about an extra £50 pro rata
                          But I had to change insurers
                          My original insurer struck fear into me by telling me they couldn't amend the mod to my insurance- and Id already had it fitted

                            It depends on a number of things, but you should contact Keith Michaels. They were good and they helped my mate out when his insurers refused to cover his mods.

                              My insurance is up for renewal in a few weeks, and ideally would change it to cover a remap, but getting £200 difference, so now thinking I won't remap.
