I had been with bell (part of admiral)for several years, and when i bought the ed30last year, they wanted to know everything that was not standard, even if factory fit (and even if a safety feauture e.g. xenons, cruise ), so i told them, and of course, now classed as "modified" which is bollocks.
this also increased my premium.
This year, went thro some comparison site, and privelege was £150 cheaper, for same level of cover. I checked with them, and they do not class factory fit as modified.
so guess who my new insurance company is ;-)
