Maybe try brentacre? Was by far the cheapest for me. They insure you up to a bhp limit and they don't mind what aesthetic mods you have.

Brentacre were also good for me but wouldn't you be better off asking on a Honda forum if there are any companies doind taylored policies?

Try brentacre, usually set a bhp limit and you can have as many mods as you like provided it remains within that range.

Like others have said give Brentacre a go, you do have a BHP limit with them which iirc you set yourself anyway.

I'm with flux now on a modified car policy which gives me a mileage limitation but I've never gone over it or been asked about it when renewing.

I always used hic for the corsa. Now use greenlight for the Astra.
Can't fault either for service and pricing.
