Insurance looks like it’s going to cost me about £750 for Cooper S with chilli from mini.co.uk

I know all the pro/cons of declaring mods etc; what I’m wanting to know however is has anyone on here insured with mini (or other) & declared AC schnitzer suspension (or similar- ie a moded susp) on the car?

I’m wanting to get an idea of how much extra it costs you to declare it? -- Is it gunna be a lot! Hope not!

Hi Bell increase mine by sixty odd quid for lowered springs. Ball park figure for you id expect it to be the same, although it can be a bit random with insurance company sales people.

Ye, just thought i'd have some idea if a couple of people on here had done same thing, thanks a lot for your reply.

Not sure how much 18" Alpinas will add to policy- little worried about that, any ideas any1?

Whahow!!!!!!!! Expensive them! Lol hope the insurnace aint reading this! Are alphinas an optional extra?
Try an tell em they are optional Mini 18" wheels rather than aftermarket, you shud get em cheaper that way, having said that mini uk insurnace shud know about alphina's!

Everything on the car is an optional extra according to the dealer

& thus the car only has upgrades and nothing that isn't an official mini part!!! That's what i have been told by them, am going to contact insurance firms though as this is just the salesman & the manager guy trying to sell their car!!

Can't see it been much more than £200ish...don't mind paying another £200ish tbh if that's what they want.
But not sure what they'll say about price.
