Send me your reg and I'll have a look on Jags system to see what is what. I should be able to load an MY18 brochure as well.

You shouldn't be asking on here then! The best of your knowledge will be best without research. ;)
I guess the reason they want to know is they work from the list prices, so anything that raises that (extras) has to be taken into account - you might double the value of the car with options, especially if you go for a lot of carbon and leather. Okay, not double, but the price can ramp up quickly on the configurator when you start clicking options. :shock:

Yep they said anything that makes car more attractive to thieves or increased performance. They list alot of engine mods, bodykits, spoilers etc but also list parking sensors, uprated brakes which should make car safer. Anyhow I clicked everything they list that my car has whether i think optional or not and the overall quote did not change!!! That said they do seem to make it complicated so veering towards staying with present insurers and gambling that i dont need to claim and get hit by the increased excess for the wrap

I’m with admiral and they only asked me about non factory modifications, not optional extras. Strange. Maybe postcode related.

Uprated brakes may make the car safer, but it may tempt you to brake later or drive faster to compensate, so you could present an increased risk.

Agreed, anyone modifying the car to up-rate the brakes is likely to be someone that intends to use them, and also they fall out of the homologation tests the manufacturer will have done for that spec of model. thus from an insurance point of view the risk becomes higher... = higher premium.

I treat anything not coming from the manufacturer standard options as Modified.
