If you mod anything even if it's a badge you MUST declare it, if insurance finds out it'll be void, do you really want to take that risk?

NO. but neither can i stomach paying large amounts to insure a modded car. the strange thing is i got quoted £80 extra to insure ed30 so premium £290 yet a modded gti 240bhp £900 doesnt make sense

Can you also stomach your insurance being void when they find out and paying through the ass to sort yourself out, but then more importantly the third party? What if you cause an accident, and they die, and you insurance is void?

+1 as above never worth the risk.

Have you tried Admiral/Bell/Elephant? I found Adrian Flux were very good for a modified policy too. Go with one of the first 3 if you don't mod it.

I had my s4 with bell but they class the gti as a group 30 {insane} had a protracted argument with them when changing ove,r the premium would have been nearly £500. so cancelled and renewed with saga less than half price. just had a quote from an audi specialist £699. still not happy.
