Default Cheapest Insurance For Modified Scoobys

does anyone know any insurance companys what are quite cheap for highly modified subaru impreza turbos 2.0l awd.
i have 9 years no claims i am 32year old with clean license,i am currently insured with virgin and have not said the modifications had done, and its costing me £660 fully comp with protected no claims bonus.
i know i should say about the mods but could not afford to pay any more for insurance, take a look at my car in my profile for the list of mods.
cheers

As everyone will say - try keith michaels posting in the right section or reading the posts in insurance will give a big clue though!

so you havent declared your modifications to your insurance company, hope you dont hit me as you are legally un-insured.

You can claim off the insurance companies, they have a fund to pay out for non insured cars.

mce - a motor bike insurer, but was really good on my mates R33 gtr, so i tried them and they beat my best price by a fair bit. always tell them your est price is a bit lower than it is, so even if they just match it, your still quids in.

and i think the police/court may want to know why his insurance was invalid too
