That's a bit harsh. I've been with Admiral the last few years as I had tuned my Focus but limited it to under 25% BHP gain. It saved me going to the 'specialist insurers as they always cost more.
I'm picking up a D4 V60 Momentum Pro and getting Polestar on it. Admiral are charging £33 for changing the car inc £19.50 admin fee. When i mention Polestar as it's less than 10% BHP gain, no additional charge.

The main trick is to let them know its less than 10% gain.

Where I take my money next is the outcome, I’ll be shopping around at the next renewal.
