Remap Insurance Cost

[Eriedor]

Had my heart set on getting a bluefin remap, however this will add another £200 ontop of my insurance.

Is £600 (400 remap 200 insurance) worth the extra 40bhp?

This is with bell insurance, does anyone have any recomendations for a mod friendly insurer? (im 23 with leon fr tfsi)

Yeah I understood, my point was if you aren't going to tell insurance about remap why insure at all? Isn't hard for them to find out its remapped in the event of a claim.

Coz if they find out you had a remap and you havnt declated it then your srcewed and basically driving without insurance. anyway im insured with greenlight and there was no charge.

do some searches on here, Churchill, NUF anf LV have been known to give reasonable cover costs. I have been using A Flux - but cos they change the policy provider each year you have to make sure you are still covered for a modified car !!

bluefin is plug and play...so can be wiped as quick as put on....

But yeah obvioulsy if you had a bad enough crash where police are involved or the insurance company come out to inspect the claim you'd be pretty screwed if they ran tests....needs to be a huuuuuge claim and a serious one for that to happen.

I'd insure it for peace of mind...then you have a legit motor!

If you look on superchips bluefin website in the Faq's it mentions to try there specialist partner as premiums may remain unchanged

Guess there’s no harm in getting a quote from them

also bare in mind that if you've asked your current insurance provider they WILL keep a log of any modifications you inquire about, therefore if you make a claim they will go straight to the item you enquired about and see if you have done anything. Insurance companies will find any and every reason to not pay for a claim.
