Sounds daft I know, but after receiving a renewal notice for

Admiral would not insure me with a Strut Brace or FMIC. I moved to Greenlight in the end, it put my insurance cost up

Try some of these guys, they all do modified cars.

Keith Michaels were the cheapest for me.

Direct Line wanted almost 50% when I asked about a strut brace when I had the Fabia vRS. I really dont know where they get off...

First Alternative charged me no extra as long as the Skoda dealer fitted it.

From an insurance company's point of view, strut braces are usually bad news. A friend of mine fitted one to a Corrado just before he had a low speed nudge, what would have normally resulted in a repair job wrote off his car because the strut brace transfered the impact to the other side of the car, twisting the front end of the chassis. The car was written off.

As goochie said that is my only worry about the strut brace. But saying that it's fitted as standard on some skoda models :P

I'm with Zurich - currently it has listed & approved at no extra cost:

* Green Filter

* PD160 air intake

* Seat Strut brace

They definitely DO NOT do remaps.

I am hoping they do the other stuff I'm getting - FMIC/Blueflame/312mm brakes/Eibachs for some kinda deal. It shouldn't increase bhp (more than marginal), although I'm expecting trouble for the lowering & the brakes :(

My insurers, NFU, are happy to accept my Fabia VRS with a Seat Strut Brace at no additional cost.

The brakes should be fine as most insurance companies treat these as "consumables", despite replacing calipers! Tesco told me this after referring to their underwriters...

Lowering is likely to be treated as a cosmetic mod.

I'm hoping for that call from my insurance broker sometime soon

Elephant do it for

eSure were fine with mine, no extra cost at all.
