Will my premium increase if I fit parking sensors to my car?

If I fit reversing sensors to my 2005 Ford Mondeo Estate, would this be a modification that would attract a higher premium?

If the vehicle did not come with them as standard, and it was a permanent modification, then you would need to disclose it to your insurer. It may not affect your premium, but you must always inform them of any permanent modification. Always contact the insurer and ask the question first.
