thought i would put this in the styling section as i popped into swinton the other day to see if having the K&N 57i induction kit put on would affect my insurance.
they said i would not be covered as churchil will not insure a car with any non standard parts.

so to the question!!

who is good to go with including price , service and level of protection (protected no claims , excess , etc).

So you not insured in the meantime[:0]

Stilo TURBO!!!!(diesel)

Try Elephant, they are sooooooooooooo cheap!

swinton got back to me today , they said they have found an insurer with a more relaxed approach to mods and its only an extra £300 a year...........yes thats right you aint got double vison that really does say £300 quid!

you would think being 30 , with 6 years no claims i could get insurance for less than 750 nicker?

the shop around starts here!

p.s. the k&n will stay in the box until i can get insurance sorted so dont get stressy james!

Uno 1.0ie Start. Standard.

you must try esure. my renewal for an abarth selespeed £275 fully comp. oh and i hate to admit it but im 45. eek[:0]

you dont wanna be in my boat- i pay £1500 a year and i think thats cheap

Try elephant.com, they were happy to accept my mods, my original quote was £217 fully comp with protected no claims, I told them about all my mods and it only went up to £251. (my policy is actually underwritten by Admiral)

Not bad, I'm 33 with 8 years no claims by the way.

esure is a no go as they state u cant have mods (unless they will quote for that by phone).

does having a thatham alarm make a lot of differance as the toad overlay (works with immobiliser)is only £220.

endsleigh are the cheapest by far 4 me... or norwich union, tesco

I'm with admiral, I'm 24 with 4 years no claims and 3 point just off my license. I'm just over £300 IIRC thats with my better half on the policy too.
Give them a try.

will a cat 1 Thatcham alarm bring the price down?

can u use a 2:1 overlay alarm with the stilo , or does it not work with the imobiliser on this car?

is the fiat one thatcham aprroved?

toad do an overlay which works out to £220 fitted will this save me sum money in the long run?

I pay £230 with protected NCD with Direct Line for the Stilo. Had an accident in my wife's punto a few weeks ago and it was a total write off. Got paid out within 7 days without hassle. I thought the service from Direct Line was as good as it gets. We got back 700 more than we paid for it a year ago !

Nuthin' fancy ! Red Stilo 02 5 door. Blue Punto 02 3 door.

Try Privilege, my Stilo was £200 a year fully comp, works out to £19 a month(I'm 27 with full NCD), my brother (23) got his Rover 620ti insured for £800.
Give them a try they're pretty good.

it looks like endsleigh are the best so far 600 quid with 5 mods , better than swintons latest quote of £830.

You're old, so you should pay loads more!

They always say that insurance gets cheaper as you get older, but as I reach every milestone i.e 21, 30 etc, it never seems to get any cheaper. I'm 34, with Tesco with 6 years full no claims and I paid £450 with all the usual trimmings (protect NCD, replacement car, legal). I guess it's a reasonable price, but your £275 got me slightly miffed.

Perhaps next time I'll do like an ever increasing number of UK drivers and just not bother with insurance and pay (if I can be bothered) the piffling fine if I get caught.

oi that hurt. i still have the mind of a 20 year old if that counts. but you are right about the penalty for driving without insurance, should be a ban at least. if everyone insured there car, premiums would fall by about 20%.
