I can hear your insurance company going Wooopy too as they write out the premium receipt

The S with the JCW stage one tuning kit is more usually more expensive to insure than a factory Works as the kit is classed as a modification.
I only get away with it as my tuning kit was fitted from new and the insurance only class post delivery modifications as premium worthy.
Enjoy!
