Is the £400 an internet quote by any chance?

If you havn't done already, try Admiral

My insurance was due up for renewal this week and although I am still paying a fair amount due to my age, I was pleasantly surprised to find that mods didn't really effect my policy that much.
I was expecting it to go up by a few hundred! (this is for non-standard exhaust system, spoiler and after-market alloys) but lets just say, I finished the conversation with a big smile on my face

Also ^^^^ this!

I found that by doing comparison quotes, each mod has a set amount that it adds onto your policy. So if you run a basic quote and then add random mods for an example, youll see each one will effect your quote by an automated set amount.

Thats why you're better off just ringing the company and chatting to an actual human. (if your lucky enough to get through to one that is )

Do a price comparison with out mods and then go to the top 3s website and enter the mods individually. I get my quote down from around £1800 to £1100 each year by doing that.

Comparison sites are a waste of time, IMO, for anything other than runabouts.

Well its better than walking everywhere or public transport. Molley et al wont even give me a quote due to my postcode and yes it is more expensive now than when I started to drive 12 years ago. Currently I am funding all the people coming into this country scamming everyone else.

I just got a quote from Admiral out of curiosity. £1,345. How funny is that. 35 years old. 6 years ncb. No points, no convictions. Been driving 14 years. Car garaged and has next to no mods. Low risk postcode as far as I know.

I hope they ring me up tomorrow to ask me if I wish to take their offer up. I take it the mods are the issue but then insurance is such a lottery.
