MarksST Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Pretty much all mods will affect your premium, check first before buying/fitting anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjay1 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 in the past ive managed to declare alloy wheels built in satnav and roof rack without a premium increase but they had to be listed to remain covered. does depend on the insurer though. some are really strict even insisting things like stickers are declared.

Bobr Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The way the insurer looks at it is - does it, in any way, make the car more likely to be stolen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, there are companies (for example, Green Light, Adrian Flux) who will allow mods with no premium increase/extra fee's but you must still declare anything or your insurance certificate will be void.
