Im usually a big fan of Admiral etc when it comes to renewing the insurance for the vee-
However this week I rung up to change over to the Focus RS ( 2l Turbo)
Now on the webb all the info I get is that the focus is a group 16 & the vee is a 20- so for the remainder of the 5 months I was expecting a small refund ( Not that the money made any odds)- but with those differences in groups you would assume that there would be some difference-
Nope-
Clio v6 on elephant- Group 27
Focus RS on elephant- Group 28
its only a score to upgrade- so hardly going to bankrupt myself- but I feel VERY surprised at that quote & will shop around for my full years renewal with 6 years no claims & potentially another year with a clean licence.....
cant believe a FRS would be considered a bigger risk than a vee!! [smilie=doubt.gif]

- with Adrian Flux when i went to ensure the v6 on a seperate policy to my FRS i only paid £250 more yearly on the vee compared to the FRS. I'd try a few more insurers tbh as the FRS should deffo be cheaper to insure compared to the vee - not just as its a lower group but also as its smaller engine, etc. May also be worth considering getting a tracking system fitted to the FRS as that should bring the premium down on the FRS (well it certainly did on mine this year 
)
