Modified Car Insurance is different to standard car insurance as it requires an insurance specialist with knowledge of the technicalities of car modifications and specifications of parts

Here at Safely Insured, we have a dedicated team of experts who can design your specialist motor insurance policy so you are covered in the event of the unthinkable happening.
Modifications can mean something as little as adding alloy wheels or a spoiler, or something as extravagant a turbo conversion. This can add value, increase theft risk, make it more difficult to find replacement parts and mean that the driver is categorised as higher risk. This is why insurance providers term modified cars or vans as non-standard vehicles, and the insurance premiums are higher.
Safely Insured believe that modifications indicate that the driver is more likely to take care of their vehicle, so the premiums should be set accordingly.
We also offer:
So if you’re looking for competitive rates on your modified car or modified van insurance, then you need look no further. We at Safely Insured are considered experts in the field of modified car insurance, so you’re in good hands.
The Safely Insured Customer Modified Car of the Year competition is back, and we’re even more excited than ever to showcase the incredible talent and dedication of our modified car community.
Read more about the competition over on our blog, and have a look at the entries so far below!
Colin's Ford Focus RS is a head-turning example of hot hatch modification.
A performance-focused overhaul equips the RS with an intercooler and a free-flowing exhaust system for a serious power boost. For enthusiasts, KW coilovers and upgraded brakes ensure precise handling and confident stopping power.
The exterior features a custom widebody kit, WRC-style bonnet vents, and a comprehensive aerodynamic package from AutoSpecialists Design and Maxton Design, whilst the interior boasts a touch of luxury with an Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel and gear knob.
Rebecca's Nissan 350Z packs a visual punch with a head-turning two-tone paint job and aggressive body kit. Amuse bumpers with StreetAero accents flank the car, while a prominent "Phat Duck" spoiler and Invidia exhaust outlets complete the exterior transformation. Sitting on lowered H&R suspension and concave JR3 wheels, this 350Z pairs both style and performance.
The interior features heated leather seats and a driver-focused setup with a Vertex wheel and quick-release hub, with subtle custom touches like a shifter and gear gaiter.
Gemma's Vauxhall Corsa VXR Nurburgring Edition is a heavily modified hot hatch that turns heads.
This 1.6L turbo boasts a custom exhaust with heart-shaped tips, ensuring it leaves a memorable impression both visually and audibly. AirLift Performance air suspension allows for a dramatic stance adjustment, while custom painted Veemann wheels and headlights further personalise the exterior, which complement the unique VW tartan Recaro interior, and performance upgrades like an Airtec intercooler.
Samuel's Audi S3 8V Sportback is a head-turner built for show and go.
The exterior features a full Vegas yellow respray with Air Lift air suspension for a dramatic stance, and custom-built West Forged wheels. Unique touches include a platinum grey US grill (which Samuel believes to be the only one in the UK) and colour-matched Maxton Design body kit.
The interior boasts a starlight headliner, custom yellow accents, and a functional boot build with an air tank and tire inflator. Performance upgrades include a Ramair induction kit, turbo muffler delete, and a custom valved exhaust for added power and sound.
Dale's Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Makinen Edition is a heavily modified powerhouse.
Pumping out 417.9bhp, this Evo is a force on the road. Extensive engine upgrades, a larger turbo, and a free-flowing exhaust system deliver serious power - while a beefed-up cooling system ensures everything stays in control. Upgraded suspension components sharpen handling, and the stripped interior hints at the focus on pure performance.
Luke Stanley's Toyota Mark II T836UEE isn't your average workhorse.
This 2.5L turbocharged beast packs a surprising punch with a hybrid turbo, performance exhaust, and an induction kit, putting out an estimated 300bhp. Lowered coilovers and upgraded wheels complete the package, hinting at the fun lurking beneath the practical exterior.
Despite its modifications, Luke's Mark II serves as his daily driver, offering a blend of practicality, power, and that all-important soundtrack.
Brett's Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R is a tuner's dream, a legendary Japanese sports car meticulously crafted for performance.
Upgraded with a forged engine, HKS turbos, and a Link ECU - Volk GTC wheels and Nismo suspension keep it glued to the road, while a Veilside titanium exhaust adds some decibels.
The special colour completes this unique and exhilarating machine.
William's 2014 Fiesta ST2 roars with performance thanks to a stage 2 intercooler, stage 3 intake, and a 240bhp remap fueled by 99 octane.
JR11 gold wheels and a vented forged carbon bonnet with gold flake add undeniable curb appeal, and the custom LED steering wheel, meticulously crafted to his specifications, showcase this one-of-a-kind hot hatch.
Jake's 1964 Pontiac Catalina is a sun-baked survivor, a true desert warrior with a story to tell. Its 6.4L Pontiac V8, a classic American engine, might not boast record-breaking horsepower, but it delivers honest power and likely a wonderful rumble.
As for the body; years under the merciless Arizona sun have baked away the paint on the upward facing surfaces, leaving a unique, textured finish. It's a testament to the car's resilience and a conversation starter at every show.
James' Ford Focus RS MK3 isn't your everyday hot hatch; this machine boasts a 2.3L EcoBoost engine pushing 400bhp thanks to a Mountune M400R package.
The upgrades extend beyond just power - a Mountune short shifter ensures smooth gear changes, and a KMS valved exhaust lets James control the sound. Every detail, from the induction kit to the roll restrictor, is crafted for peak performance.
Will's lovingly restored 1996 Volvo 940 is a head-turner. Its 2.3L turbocharged engine delivers classic Volvo performance complemented by a host of stylish upgrades. A 3-inch custom exhaust lets everyone know it's coming, while BC Racing coilovers lower the stance for a more aggressive look.
The eye-catching 17-inch gold JR6s wheels and Nardi steering wheel add a touch of class both inside and out - but the true charm of this Volvo lies in the wave of nostalgia it evokes, sparking memories for everyone who encounters it. It's a testament to the enduring appeal of these Swedish wagons.
George's BMW 3 series 325Ci Coupe is a sweet ride for anyone behind the wheel. The naturally aspirated 2.4L engine puts out 190bhp, offering the flexibility to cruise calmly or unleash some power. Upgraded HSD coilovers likely tighten up handling and give the car a more assertive stance. With plans for future aesthetic touches, this BMW is already a blast to drive. It can be enjoyed for a relaxed sunday drive or pushed for a playful slide - a versatile choice for any enthusiastic driver.
Daniel's Ford Focus RS MK2 is a meticulously crafted hot hatch focused on pure performance. Upgraded BC Racing coilovers enhance handling, while an Airtec oil cooler and intercooler ensure optimal engine temperature during spirited driving.
A high-flow fuel pump and injection system work in harmony with a Spec R induction kit featuring a Cosworth filter to feed the power hungry engine. The crown jewel is the REVO Stage4+ map, transforming the 2.5L engine into a formidable 445bhp powerhouse.
Quasim's pride and joy is a heavily modified 2008 Vauxhall Astra VXR. This mean machine boasts a 2.0L turbocharged engine pumping out an impressive 541bhp and 456 lb-ft of torque, turning the stock Astra into a true performance vehicle.
Built to Quasim's exact specifications, every detail reflects his vision and passion for this car. It's a perfect example of how car modifications can transform a vehicle into a true reflection of its owner's desires.
Ceri Morgan's Ford Focus RS is a meticulously crafted performance machine, pushing out 1026bhp. Upgraded internals, a Precision turbocharger, and a twin-plate clutch handle the surge in power. A comprehensive cooling system, upgraded fueling, and an EMU computer ensure optimal performance. BC Racing coilovers sharpen handling, while AP Racing brakes provide superior stopping power.
The interior boasts a luxurious Alcantara retrim and a touchscreen EMU controller. Aggressive bodywork with splitters, a large rear wing, and a vented hood complete the transformation.
Emily's 2022 award-winning Vauxhall Astra H VXR is more than a Safely Insured Customer Car Competition trophy winner; it's a symbol of resilience.
Packing a performance punch with an induction kit, intercooler, and 300 bhp remap, it's a thrill to drive. Upgraded suspension and Brembo brakes keep things sharp, while custom touches like starry night lights add a personal flair.
But the real win for Emily is the happiness this car brings her, a constant reminder of strength and a story of love sparked by a shared passion for motoring.

Alejandra's Dacia Duster is a unique blend of practicality and off-road capability. This reliable 1.6L petrol model stands out from the crowd with its aftermarket touches: tinted windows, lifted springs for better ground clearance, wider tires for improved grip, and stylish steel wheels. Wind deflectors, a stone chip deflector, and protective body trim enhance its durability, while mud flaps add a touch of ruggedness. Even the interior boasts unique modifications, showcasing Alejandra's personal touch. This Duster proves that modifications can enhance both style and function, creating a car that's as reliable as it is distinctive.
David's 1996 Nissan Skyline R33 GTST is a DIY enthusiast's dream. Currently stripped to the frame, it's undergoing a meticulous overhaul. Upgraded parts like polybushed arms, adjustable components, and Tein coilovers promise razor-sharp handling. The exterior gets a refresh too, with a rear diffuser, a subtle wing, and classic BBS LM wheels. Inside, a luxurious leather interior complements a thumping sound system.
The engine, the heart of this project, is getting a performance overhaul – expect more power and torque. This Skyline is a work in progress; a celebration of the iconic RB engine, and a testament to David's dedication.
Johnny's Ford Transit Connect is no ordinary work van. This sleeper hides a secret - a heart transplant from a Ford Focus ST225! That means a roaring 2.5L turbo engine, a manual gearbox, and a custom exhaust for a thrilling soundtrack. Bigger breathing thanks to an intercooler and induction kit keeps things cool. Lowered suspension, stiffer anti-roll bars, and wider tires on 18-inch alloys sharpen handling for a car-like driving experience.
The fun doesn't stop there - the interior boasts Recaro bucket seats and a Focus ST steering wheel for a sporty touch. After 18 months of driveway tinkering, Johnny's creation is a true head-turner; a practical van transformed into a fun-loving hot rod.
Liam's 2001 Toyota JZX100 Chaser is a driver's dream. The 1JZ engine packs a punch, boosted by a Greddy controller and fed by a Blitz intake. Cusco coilovers and TRD bars tighten handling, while SSR wheels add motorsport flair. Inside, Recaro seats and a Nardi quick-release wheel put Liam in control. This meticulously tuned Chaser is a testament to Liam's love for both performance and the iconic JZX platform.
Thanwa's Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R is built for pure driving pleasure. This isn't your stock Skyline - under the hood lies an Abbey Motorsport built engine pushing out 512bhp, force-fed by Garrett turbos and breathing through a free-flowing HKS exhaust. A Link G4+ ECU ensures everything runs smoothly, while a full Nismo body kit adds aggressive aesthetics. Tein coilovers tighten up handling, and Rays Volk Racing wheels complete the performance package.
Inside, a Kenwood sound system provides the soundtrack, but the true joy comes from the way this R33 GT-R handles. A driver's car brimming with character and feedback.
Chris Vincent's Toyota Supra A80 HKS is a driver's dream. This 3.0L beast pumps out 350bhp, begging for open-air thrills. Wrapped in HKS goodness: Nardi steering wheel, Bride Eurostar seats, and floor mats - the interior complements the iconic Blitz Technospeed Z1 alloys.
Chris loves nothing more than the pure roar of the engine, especially with the roof down. This Supra is pure performance and heritage, ready to carve up the road.

One of the only ones with Air ride it definitely stands out. As well as the air ride he has a set of Gold Comp wheels and Scorpion Exhaust.
This car has been practically rebuilt in order to achieve 765bhp! This particular car, as stock, came with an N/A engine which usually produces around 200-220bhp, and had a 4-speed automatic gearbox.

The engine has been fully forged to the point where it has the potential to withstand 1000+BHP (with the right supporting modifications, of course). Chris chose a T67 Turbo, as he believed it has the best all-round acceleration and top-end speed.

"I have had many engine upgrades. When I first bought the car it did not have a turbo and was only 220bhp. Then, I did a twin turbo transplant which took the power close to 300bhp. I then did a BPU setup, taking the power to around 450bhp. After this, I pushed the twin turbos, so changed to a Holset single setup 550bhp. After the Holset died I got the Garret T88 single turbo (which is my current setup) and now the car runs at 700bhp."
