    I'd guess either a straight out refusal or a silly increase tbh.

    There has to be a logic to it, as i said the car is unmodified and i just want the numbers

    Depends on the insurer, took aviva 3 days to get back to me about coilovers and a exhaust.The coilovers were the parts they had the issue with.

    I'd go with option A from 123. They don't like any tinkering.

    But if you don't ask you don't receive...

    123.ie will not insure engine mods.
    You have NO hope of getting a quote.

    Only hope is arachas.

    Arachas won't take on an ST either though, as a new customer. I tried them before I renewed myself. You did well getting with them. :(

    Well it's very different, quicker and more nimble obviously! Just plain fun to drive, where as the a4 was a small bit laborious at times. But the a4 was nice too tbh..
