i just tell my insurance that it has some bmw listed parts, then put bmw stickers on bits and if you have a crash just say " it thought it was factory officer, thats what i told my insurance :)" worked for me so far

I ended up with Heritage/Norton to insure the slug, footman james who I insured the blue car with wouldn't even look at it because of all the mods.
I used them over adrian flux on the my with full cage etc and they were about 250 cheaper and did not ask for a cat 2 alarm

After Jim's suggestion sometime last year I found heritage quoted very cheap and no one else could get anywhere near close. For my slammed E28 520i and M20B25 it came in at £280 when the next nearest was £550+.

On my E32 (with just mods of alloys and lowering) Heritage quoted the cheapest but Lancaster offered more mileage for a little more money. Flux were a close third, and they were cheapest when I was using my E30 318is.

Granted the E32 and E28 heavily modified but when I get my very modded 323i m50B25 on the road the first company I will ring will be Heritage.

Cheers Jim!

Lancaster took a couple of days to confirm but once I had declared all the mods they gave me an agreed value policy (£6 500) and 3000 miles for just over £140 for myself and my girlfriend as a named driver. Might try Heritige once renewal time rolls around though.

I got a quote from Lancaster of £180 for mine. Not bad considering it'll go down in less than a month...when I turn 25! Lancaster was by far cheaper than any others I looked at.

hi Mark, if you got £140 with an agreed value how much cheaper did/can you really go, i know your the king of blagging freebs but surely you cant get lower than that.....
