If you have a modified car insurer like I do. Then it would do alot. Iv told them everything on mine and it's very cheap

Most mainstream insurers won't insure a car with a cage. My premium on my corsa went down.

you'd expect a cage to put it down because its a safety device

When i was messing around with quotes for a 1.6 corsa. The roll cage made hardly any difference to the quote, maybe £50-100 but no more than that. Those quotes were with admiral.

Yeah, a standard one was 1200 to insure. one with 25% more power, bigger brakes, buckets and harness, exhaust system, alloys and cage was 1600.

bit off subject but the car value made a hell of a difference to mine...
car valued at 400 (bit less than what i paid) = £830ish
car vauled at 1400 = just over £600
think they just draw a number out of a hat haha

So the jist of it is, if you bash bigger brakes. A roll cage and a stripped interiour it tends to come down a bit?

Depends on your personal situation doesn't it.
Some have had increases, some hav had decreases.

Unless you go with Brentacre, who won't charge for any of that stuff, then I'd expect an extra charge, if any company does knock it down, I'd be surprised.
