Insurance - modifications

[Sephiroth]

Looking to get insurance sorted before I pick up my mk1 import. Quotes are reasonable on moneysupermarket(£250 - £400), but when I tick the modification box and add the roll bar option (car has style bar fitted), the cheapest quote jumps to £550.

Any other PHers had to deal with this issue? Should I declare the car as standard and leave the style bar on? Or choose between taking it off and paying the much higher premium?

Ring Sky insurance

And Adrian Flux; they gave me a much more competitive quote than Sky but those were the first two on my list

I've been with Footman James for a few years now, very good with modifications.

Aplan insure my modified WRX and soon to be modified MX5. Good helpful people and sensible quotes.

Join MX5Nutz forum, the likes of Aplan, Greenlight and Adrian Flux will offer discounts if you are on there

I'm with Aviva and I just explained over the phone that the bar was purely for looks.

Thanks for the advice. I got a good deal with a classic car policy through Footman James. Can't wait to pick up the car!
