Peter, I like you am also very very old, if you realy are interested in insurance, with your age and background you might try Warrick Davis (sp) I did on an grossly overmodified Subaru. The Lady who I spent nearly half an hour giving the details to, actually understood what I was saying (even if I didn't) and the quote from them was 1k less than the rest, I say the rest but only one other company would quote at all

I insured my MY05 WRX with Privilege last month for £600 with protected full no claims. When i called them to register my change of number plate, i casually asked him how much my premium would go up if i added a prodrive backbox, with a maximum 5% power increase.
An extra £120 a year plus an extra 100 onto my excess, replied the chap.
GTF, said I.
I only wanted to stick a £40 second-hand backbox on it to make it sound better. Erseholes.

Pete, I would agree with Adam above, in that you will be able to claim back your remaining 6 months if you cancel your policy. I have done this myself, with Tesco, very recently, who would not insure my newly acquired MY05 WRX, unless it was fitted with a Tracker (which I didn`t want).
I went to A-plan instead, and have spoken with them only this week about the possibility of adding PPP, or modding with a back-box, air filter, and/or re-map.
I have been assured by them that either option will only increase my premium by approx. £70 for the remainder of the year (until next April), and will probably be an additional £100 for the year, next time around.

Yes my price is also comprehensive.
Well, with just over half the mileage of yours my, ok, 99 I know, must be worth a tad more, especially as the transmission oil has been checked every week.

Insured with Tesco. Type R LTD import. £480 Phoned them to say changing the exhaust and they asked how much more BHP. I replyed none so was told no charge. Even sent me a new policy stating sports exhaust.
The engine went pop so I stopped the policy told them the car would be on the road in about another month but they insisted on sending me the money for the remaining 6 months I had left on the policy.

A friend of mine is insured with A plan, fitted exhaust, afterburner I believe, they charged him an extra £100 for the privilege, he recently removed it with 8 months still to run. How much do you think he was refunded........yes your right....big nothing

Oh well, guess you`ll be leaving it standard then Pete, because you`re not going to get around the insurance thing, not unless you don`t bother telling them, but then there`s no point being insured anyway.

I am insured with Liverpool & Victoria - through Frizzell.
They say that they would discontinue the policy if I fitted another (non-standard) backbox!!
THATS JUST GREAT! Just when I am considering dipping my toe into the muddy mod. waters!!

Clearly your mind isn't able to swap its connections (in true Chav style) - Thats s shame, it means you will never reach your peak - forever spending a life in negativity and loss

So, yes, I can wait until December before changing insurers and fitting the backbox ....

I didn't think they really bothered with them until they reached 12?
