I'm hoping to be getting quotes for under the £400 mark. The only mod I have is the remap so will be interesting to find out and I also have 9 year ncb.

Just got a quote from Adrian flux which is the cheapest at £375.
They told me that they are the broker and I would be insured by a company called markerstudy.

Anyone ever heard of them?

Cheers

Got mine covered with Greenlight £500 inc Revo Stage 1. 9 years ncb. Spent more time chatting about a 1400bhp truck they've got on the books than discussing insurance bits :D

I'm with Markerstudy too, but via Greenlight.  Not had any problems in 2 years, but it's when you have to claim that you find the real quality of your insurer.

So then, who on here needs to own up........




I've done that a few times I have to admit especially when I was young lol.

I used to own a Corsa GSi with the 2ltr 16v XE fitted yeeeeeeears ago and was stopped by a biker cop for a thorough check over of the car, engine bay the works and he thought it was still the 1.6 16v. Was bricking it slightly until he closed the bonnet and sent me on my way lol.

....Really? - Greenlight ONLY insure modified cars as I understand it. Also, I don't think they are that keen on insuring drivers under 25yo but I'm not so certain about that aspect.

I am about to start my fifth year with Greenlight and my list of mods is longer than an A4 page can list.

Yeah, unfortunately I use my car for 13,000 miles a year (including 1000) business, that teamed with being 21 that's all they could offer.

They insured mine as stock, and then didn't charge me as I bolted bits on.

Fantastic insurer  :notworthy:
