My insurance company increased my premium when I fitted a dateless registration - the ABC 123 style, as they deemed it a personalised plate - which is isn't, its just an old dateless plate. I argued that my Series One also has an old dateless plate (its original registration) but they would not have it.

This post has just reminded me I had better ring them about my Optimill boss and Momo wheel! Euro-Leafing to infinity and beyond.....

Thats why i opted for the no premium increase + lap belts .Just in case I ever do carry someone in the back and get stopped .
But another insurer wanted the extra £80pa , But No belts , so how do you stand with the law when the insurer says you don't .

I just remembered my snorkel , not something you think of .
But a plate how can that make it more desirable , less so if they were to keep the plates on .

my s/wheel was ok , yours should be better as its anti theft .
BUT !!!! I read think on here that now they knew they stipulated it had to be removed each and every time , But no premium increase But guess you have no option , unless its just a momo fitted .

I have a HUGE list of mods. No problem with A-Plan. Reasonable price.

Again A-Plan no issues with any mod. Declared everything.
Removable steering wheel was for others classsed as a security feature so would have to be removed every time it was left. If stolen with steering wheel in place i'd be uninsured. A-Plan call it a modification so I can leave it on if I need to.
They did have a bit of an issue with a retune, but said it's be £20-30 at most. It's next on my list. A-Plan were a pelasure to deal with and now have 2 motors on them.

I will try them Chris , now I've declared the snorkel its a high value item and want extra £55 , Total now at £400

Full no claims , no points , age 60 and that's the best they can do with sabre , Avila won't touch with any mods at all .

As mentioned above you’ll need to speak to the specialist A-Plan team in Thatcham for modified 4x4 insurance. The local branch can’t do it (apparently).
