Okay,

my 206cc S, 1.6, what group is it in ? 11 or 12 ?

im confused, i received my insurance documents and had to query it as they'd put the model as a 206cc (silver/black).

WHen I rang them they said eventually after being on hold 8 mins that it was a group up and id have to pay 21 pounds more on the insurance. Remember this is for 2 months, i have already paid 38 pounds extra previously.

So I check out how much it is on the web site for the year ... and it works out at 40 pounds per month.

I think they are stitching me up !! Im gonna ring them, but can someone confirm that the 206cc is a group 11 and not 12.

Pugs web site says 11 !

I must admit I thought the 1.6 was group 12 and the 2Litre Se group 14.

1.6 = 12

2.0 = 14

that is the norm, but companies can class a car as what ever group they want.

My insurance is due for renewal. I was quoted Â£528.00 (girlie 24, 7 yrs no claims). Foolishly mentioned arches, and they stuck Â£300.00 on my premium!!!??? nevermind mentioning anything else.

I've been shopping round companies and most are stating the SE as insurance grp 16.
:eek: :eek: :eek:

These insurance companies can do what they like .. its about time some goverment body stepped in and sorted the mess. Ive just got a quote from direct line at 468 pounds 200 pound excess.... Cheapest ive found but thats on 3 years no claims. Ive only had insurance for 2 years 10 months, so I guess thats not valid. Changing it to 2 years no claims and its 580. I guess I'll stick with AXA and dump them after the 2 months is over. Im 27 by the way.

MMM Don't talk about insurance. To insure my Honda Civic typeR when I get it in 2 weeks it will cost me Â£1300. :sad: Suppose at 22 that is not that bad for a group 18 car.

Emma,
That's the trouble with mods. I had AMG wheels on my SLK. Most companies slapped 20% on for them!

Axa didn't charge any extra for wheel arch extensions and mesh grille.
