Hi folks - I'm seriously thinking about going for a GTT 220 upgrade but I'm worried about insurance.

If you had a GTT 220 upgrade or similar - by how much did your insurance increase ? This may sound naive - did you have to detail every change / part to the insurers ?. Lastly - who are you insured with ? - any recommendations ?.

Cheers.

Try Greenlight; they quoted me an increase of £42 for the GTT 220 I currently have a CAI, GRS IC and after market wheels.

I also use Greenlight, £30 extra

I just specified a 220 tuning kit........plus crank pulley, intercooler and a few more bits

Greenlight or Adrian Flux are the two to try.

Adrain flux for me. I'm 22 though so my age played a major factor in who i choose but they quoted me less for a modified checkmate than everyone else was quoting for a standard!

Yeah I still don't know how Adrian Flux can do insurance so cheap. I went from a Cooper Works 132BHP. To a highly modified Hartge Cooper S with 230BHP. Price increase £50. Everywhere else wanted double the price (although I didn't know about Greenlight then).

direct line wanted 10% more for my Works conversion, I never declared the additional GTT work, which added around 25bhp on top...

Funny thing is, most companies get real upset if you add a big brake kit, BHP deosnt seem to be that much of a big deal....

I had a BBK fitted, they wanted an extra £300 per year until I said that it was a saftey device. Then it cost me nothing ;-)

Don't ask.

Hi Guys, Adrian Flux have recognised/supported GTT conversions (performance suspension brakes etc) since 1994 ,giving excellent quotes & cover. Greenlight also seems equally impressive.

MINI Cover boiled it down to a policy increase the same as what the bhp increase was. So 20% or something. And since I moved to Nottingham, it's as good as negligable as the car is now parked secure off road and that's a saving of well over £200
