Depending on what my insurance renewal is like, might get it done before inters :happy2:

....Depending on the usual insurance premium factors such as your postal district, age, history, etc, if you have various mods (or plan to have) it's worth enquiring with an insurer such as Greenlight who specialise in modded cars and don't hit you based on bhp. [I have no vested interest in saying this - I am just a satisfied Greenlight customer in my third year with them].

Thanks Robin. Im already with Sky who are friendly towards getting a re-map . but im also getting a TBE soon so dont want a big jump in my insurance premium.

Hi, i will say that i did approach Greenlight for my potential mods, along with increased bhp, and to be honest they pretty much ignored my suggested mods of air intake and Milltek exhaust, but, and i quote, 'we base our premium on the increase in power'! That said, my premium (with them) for all the aforementioned, with a Stage 1 remap was about £680.00, more than double my current 'stock' premium, ouuuchhhhhh!!!!

....I expect that other factors such as where you live and age may have been a factor.

Of that Robin i have no doubt, but those are also considerations that every other insurance company takes into account! Just proves how extra power can often be the deciding factor, they somehow assume that it turns mere mortals into Schumacher wannabees!! :stupid:

....[RR with Greenlight fanboy hat on] But that's where Greenlight differ - They are a bunch of enthusiasts who know about modded cars (they only insure performance cars) and specialise. However, they are 'fussy' about what/who they insure and so they should be. Anyway, when Tony @ Greenlight reads this he will probably post something.
