Stickered up for 2019

Their argument wasn't about adding any performance, more that the stickers may cause other drivers to stare at them and loose concentration, therefore representing a higher risk than a non stickered car.
Anyway my Pal found himself uninsured due to stickers on his car. I've stickered my own car in the past on a Le Man trip and never even thought to speak to the insurance company, but I certainly would if I did it again.
Evidently I understood their argument wasn't about added performance but it seemed they genuinely felt the car was "modified". Anyway my Pal found himself uninsured due to stickers on his car. I've stickered my own car in the past on a Le Man trip and never even thought to speak to the insurance company, but I certainly would if I did it again.
I gather the argument of distraction but still it doesn't make sense...by the same logic they'd refuse or charge higher for cars in bright colours ? Or vans of contractors displaying attention-seeking publicity regarding their business?
Really lame excuse for refusing a pay-out. But good to know and let's hope no one else here has to hear such nonsense.

All the above makes sense, thats why I have an agreed value classic policy with all mods and stickers declared.
For pece of mind its worth contacting your insurance company, but for christ sake don't tell them your on a rally or anything like that or they will cancel your policy.
