Title: Insurance + mods
Post by: R32UK on 10 February 2011, 17:53

Just go a letter through from my insurance company as my policy is up for renewal 1st march. They are no longer willing to insure me due to modifications on the car  :huh:

Just shopped around for another quote and the best is £2100 with mods  :shocked:

£900 without  :angry:



Looks like this may be the last straw for the GTI... a GTI without being remaped :sick:

A list of insurers used by the modders may be helpful here  :smiley:

Hi mate, before choosing my insurers i looked into who were mod friendly, I went for Admiral in the end, competitive pricing and don't mind you messing with the car.

I'm with Greenlight Insurance (http://www.greenlightinsurance.co.uk/)

They are mod friendly, infact they only insure hot hatches and the like, worked out well for me.
I had an accident a couple of years ago, not my fault, and it was sorted quickly and efficiently.

thanks for the help guys... unfortunately mods and points on licence dont go too well together :undecided:

the best quote with remap seems to come out at over £2k... so it looks like the remap is going to have to go  :cry:


really is a shame as this is how the gti should be out of the box... and for me probably spells the end of GTI

^^ does that make such a difference?

Or is it a mix of points and remap.

My remap costs around £100 a year in insurance.

Yeah, when I rang Admiral to see how much my premium would go up with a Revo Stage 1 and they said £98 per year.


The points are probobly the main reason for the price hike.
