depends on who your insured with, some places dont mind certain mods or add a small fee, some places will just uninsure you on the spot.

Cosmetic usually will not cost much or anything.

Performance enhancing changes can effect premium. Eg , supercharge an NA car and it's likely the price of your insurance will go up, add a set of uprated brakes and the price may not go up.

Will very between insurers, some insurers (in my opinion the insurers who do not have a clue) go by BHP estimates.. a sensible insurer goes by the actual modification.

What ever happens, if the car is modified, most likely you'll be better off with a modification friendly specialist insurer.

Feel free to get in touch.
