OK. Calling all those running remaps.

Which Insurance Company are you with and what effect did the remap have on your annual premium? Seen some crazy price rises on some of these threads.

Yes I would like my car to be smoother more responsive and a wee bit quicker, but I could by another car with the amounts some people seem prepared to pay.

I remember in my youth the insurance company I worked for at the time refusing to insure my 205 gti, but surely now I am older, far more sensible, with umpteen years NCD and convictions I'm not that much of a risk anymore!

So come on people. Let's see who paid the least and who paid the most and what insurance companies and brokers are the heroes and villains!

NB. Should read NO convictions not umpteen!

Try Tesco, increase on my premium was minimal although excess went up.

Depends on age still, what insurers will charge.

In their eyes fella's are a risk till their age is around 27 years, regardless of any convictions on their licence.

Then when they reach 70 years of age, they crank the insurance up again.!!

I will pay am extra £400 to admiral for mine. I am 25 with a 2011 petrol VRS with 2 years NCD and live in Bristol in an average area for crime rate.

I used Admiral via moneysupermarket. I had to call Admiral and quoted the moneysupermarket quote reference to them which saves going though your details again. The price I got from moneysupermarket was for a 0-10% power increase but I required the next band of 11-25% which increased the quote by £118 making the total of £470. This was still the cheapest quote by far. My previous insurer Budget wanted £662.

Exactly the same for me, figured it was safer paying the extra but know i'm fully covered for the full remap power. I am 23 though and paid £860 though. That hurt a lot, but needs must! :(

Brentacre with all my mods declared comes in at about the same as the very cheapest standard insurers with no mods. They're also brilliant to deal with.

Our VRS is standard but my jeep insurance had a long list of modifications on it with Aviva and it made no difference to the premium. You would have thought making a car handle worse would have more affect on the premium.
