Modifying your car 'could heap extra costs on insurance policies'

Though tinted windows, enhanced exhaust pipes and spoilers may seem like a great way to make a car look better, adding extras such as this to a vehicle could result in car insurance soaring significantly.

This is a warning from uSwitch.com, whose recent research has revealed that under-21s who introduce their vehicle to such modifications could risk adding up to £6,225 to their insurance policies.

For example, the study found that side skirts bump up insurance by £88 a year, tinted windows a further £756 and flared wheel arches and wings £3,500.

It also discovered that opting for a sportier version of the same model adds, on average, a further £3,400 to car insurance annually.

Last week, uSwitch.com reminded drivers going abroad for the bank holiday weekend to check that their insurance policies covered them in a foreign country, as this is not always the case.
