So in order to help others gauge quotes for the next year I am going to add my quotes here to give an idea on rough price ranges from the companies I contact.
To my surprise after all the issues this year with the change of Sainsbury's underwriters I still got a renewal, I have had to explain that I wont be renewing with them as their underwriters don't seem to understand the modifications and impact of them on my car and so have no alternative than to go elsewhere. Their quote was £406 up from £310 last year.
My insurance is not due until 12th Oct but I decided to try an online quote today, the post will be updated with date and company name as I do them.

Companies to AVOID due to comments and complications:
* Company - Churchill - 0800 200326
* Method - Phone Quote
* Price - N/A
WONT INSURE THE CAR DUE TO HAVING A STRUT BRACE WHICH ADD'S TOO MUCH HP
AND
* Company - Sainsbury's - 0800 210 0247
* Method - Renewal through the post
* Price - N/A
Added note, Churchill and Sainsbury's so far will cover every modification apart from strut braces. Sainsbury's we were aware of this fact from my previous posts but called Churchill and as soon as I mentioned a strutbrace it instantly said insurance declined as it add's too much bhp.
Sainsbury's was an automatic renewal so be careful as although they wont touch cars with a strut brace their new policy also states they insure cars where not UK version is available).
To my surprise after all the issues this year with the change of Sainsbury's underwriters I still got a renewal, I have had to explain that I wont be renewing with them as their underwriters don't seem to understand the modifications and impact of them on my car and so have no alternative than to go elsewhere.
