Ring the insurance company up and ask before hand. Some companies won't insure you on certain modifications. Some you can only have a certain amount more bhp on standard. Make sure you check it out before!

Depends on your cirumstances and which insurance company you are with

If you are older with a decent amount of NCB and also with a mod friendly insurer then it's shouldn't be too difficult.

On the other hand, if you are under 25 with zero no claims and with an insurance company who doesn't like mods then you may have trouble.

as said above just ring ur insurer before to make sure. or you could fit all your parts and have to take them all straight back off again.

Ahhh you should be fine then to be honest lol

The only issue you might come up against is that some insurance companies won't cover mods such as turbos/boddies/superchargers etc regardless of age or driving experience.

Best thing to do is get an online quote and then just ring up the company and ask how much to add on the mods :)
