Well my insurance has officially expired and it's that time of the year again where I'll have to renew....

I tried Admiral insurance got a price of £830 fully comp (points and mods declared) which I didn't think was too shabby.... I told them about the bonnet and they'd have to 'get back to me'... It turns out that people who race cars have carbon bonnets and it's a high insurance risk (even though I wouldn't be racing it which I explained...).

So my insurance at present has expired (sucks not being allowed to drive it ) and I'm going to ring round first thing tomorrow morning...

I'm going to try the following:
- Adrian Flux
- Brentacre
- Greenlight
- Sky

Anyone recommend anyone else?

Thanks

Thanks for the responses guys, I'll give HIC a call - does anyone know if they are open on the weekend? Doesn't state opening ours on their site?

edit: ignore that it does
