Elephant are pretty good with mods and dont add on too much for imports they are pretty good, try admiral although they are technically the same company

Its horses for courses

I suggest you go back a couple of months at least and search on the insurance thread as there are some threads with links to a full list of companies

I.e. A Plan, Barclays, Hyperformance, Schofields.............

My wifes WRX is insured with Elephant but they would'nt touch my Sti5 (which is with Liverpool Vic - but you have to be over 30 - the wife had to be over 30 also to be added)

My insurance is due for renewal now. I phoned Liverpool Vic last night and they quoted me £800 for my 03 Sti PPP. I thought that was pretty good but it's not as good as the renewal figure given by my exisiting insurer, Privilege. With them its just over £700.

Just called LV - told they won't support chipped cars (they wan't the detail on what a PPP was)

How did you tell them to get a quote?

How Bizarre!!

They usually dont even care......mine is running at over 450bhp through LV/Frizzell............... they dont care about mods - just load the premium overall by about £100 regardless of the amount/level of mods (only thing they dont like is increased capacity engines 2.2/2.33/2.5 - which they wont insure)

Yeah, think I had a muppet on the phone - couldn't understand while scooby drivers always change for another - they insure my JDM chipped without a prob (but it was insured b4 I first moded it)

I'll try them again l8r (elephant are just over £1,200, so looks like I'll be upgrading the car)
