I've been considering getting my vRS remapped and got a couple of quotes for insurance - Direct Line went from

If I was you I would ask Direct Line what effect it would have on your policy excess as my premuim went up by a similar amount and they also changed the excess to

Direct Line wouldnt let me remap my elegance as the power % increase was huge! Admiral on the other hand quoted less for the remapped car that I was paying with Direct Line as standard.

My tip is to put your Mum/Dad on there as a named driver. I have 6 yrs NCB and still addign my Mum dropped the premium by about

Change my policy from LV to Chris Knott....

my thoughts would be that if the 'crashed' car was capable of a rr sesion then it would be a minor incidend that wouldnt warrenty a insurier assesment? :confused:

Exactly.

The admiral website lest you choose the power increase and calculates the premium based on that.

Personally my maths is really bad so no matter how I work it out 150-214bhp in less than 10%

Thinking a little laterally here..... you could possible get a custom remap for loads of torque then you'd not have any power increase!

Implication - Not declaring your remap is something you could 'get away with' in case of an accident?

Fact - Insurance companies have lots and lots of resources. Including ECU simulators if necessary. If they suspect you... beware your sins will find you out.

Fact - Undeclared modifications render your insurance null and void, which could cost you, and any person you hit, a lot of money (and in extreme circumstances, maybe even a court appearance and possibly 'hard time' with 'Mister Big'...

Fact - People who drive cars without insurance cost the rest of us on average

Adrian Flux lowered my premium this year after i played my face but i still have all my window tints and induction kit declared.

Tried Admiral

No time to read all these but Liverpool Victoria insured my vRS with a Jabba Chip - no extra cost AND they permit track days where no racing or time trials involved.

Assuming that they are willing to continue cover on renewal, they will NOT accept any more performance mods for your car (nor for mine which is also Jabba'd). :(

do you mean they won't let anyone have mods anymore - or they won't allow you to ADD anymore to your current modded car???

Just rang Elephant to change my insurance and they said they didn't cover tuning boxes, ECU 'piggy backs' or remaps. Is this right??

Anyone had any recent quotes or big increases on recent renewals? I'm getting a remap on Saturday (IP - should get to 210/215bhp) and best quote I've had is
