Priviledge want to charge me £112 extra from now till November for having Nitrons and a Sports exhaust!

Any recomendations for another insurance company that won't rip me off just for improving the handling and exhaust note?

Edited to say: This is in no way a slur against Priviledge. They gave me the best quote by far for an MX5 a few years ago. Limitations may apply. The value of your insurance can go up as well as down. Always read the small print. I've got a brand new combine harvester and I'll give you the key.

Just phoned A Manning - even with the mods and getting the same cover as I have at the moment, it works out at half what I'm currently paying and includes track days!

Also try PEART, they advertise in the tvr car club magazine, 'sprint'. I got my policy from them, complete with top-down cover for £900.

Just phoned up A Manning and signed up.
Then phoned my previous insurer.

The menu said press 3 to cancel yout insurance. I press 3, nothing happens.
Then, when I press another option to talk to someone, they try to put me through to the cancelations team and there's no anwser (perhaps all the PH's getting better deals on their Tiv insurance) so I'm waiting for them to phone me back.

Just typical for a company to make it difficult to cancel something...

I'm with Privilege and they wanted £120 from me just to get the exhaust mod done. However, a 30 minute 'debate' later, and they agreed to waive the increased premium

I prefer the 5 minute call to another insurer to get the whole lot at half price.

As you can see, I'm dead chuffed with this!
