Do you declare your remap on your insurance policy?

[GrayMK5GTI]

Swap to an insurer that actually understands modifying - like Greenlight! They actually tell me what mods to do next  

Mine was cheaper as a modified car than I was getting on confused.com for a stock car.

I will make a few calls tomorrow. I didn't know there were even insurers that specifically covered modified cars. Would be great if I got it cheaper than on money supermarket!

Sorry, but i would always enquire FIRST before doing the mods then you would know. If you cant afford the insurance then do not do the mods! 

What happens if you hit someone, your in effect driving with no insurance as your policy is VOID.

They're great peeps. I had a conversation with one of their team about "which Stage 2+ map"!

Correct. Before I bought my exhaust I rang insurance company to check price. Same with my remap

+1. Wish my insurance chatted about next possible mods, id be on the phone to them daily

I am with Brentacre and they have like for like mod replacement.
I phoned up on Saturday morning and added £3k worth of mods and it cost me... £0.
An increased power limit to 280bhp is £130 extra (which was for 10 months at the time).
22 with 3 years NCB

Then again insurance is so personal that someone else with exactly the same scenario as me but who lives in a different town could be double the price of half as much or not covered by the same company... just shop around specialist insurers and insure your modifications LEGALLY.

I rang Brentacre just before i got the gti. They quoted me 2k and that was like for like which is what Jay said. Considering being 20, having 1 years NCB i thought that was reasonable. Unfortunately i couldn't afford that policy and the gti so i went with Admirial. Will have to wait till i can do power mods, but i may ring up some insurers later and maybe cancel my current policy.
