Most insurance companies won't bother adding anything to insurance if you mention alloys. (espec if got locking wheel nuts!) I've declared 2.0ltr calibra front brakes (altho not yet fitted!) They said it won't effect insurance as it doesn't effect the speed etc!! Apparently its more a cosmetic mod!!??

With Adrian Flux.
I changed to them from Liverpool Victoria as they weren't going to let me mod my car. Adrian Flux gave me insurance with all mods declared and was something like £80 cheaper to! lol

the only reason your insurance is high is because your young
soon as you get to about 24/25 ul find it will cost u next to nothing
few tips on keeping ur insurnace low, go for as high excess as you can after all there isnt much you can do to a corsa damage wise that will cost you more than say £300ish to fix so if u did ever crash it dont bother telling your insurance just fix it yourself.
tell em you wont do more than 7000k or less a year
go for TPFT not fully comp, sort of pointless being fully comp as if u smash it it would be more cost effective to write your car off and buy a new one than repair it thru insurance, so you would be paying for nothing.
obviosly tell em u keep it a garage or a private drive. dont get any speeding fines! make sure it has an alarm all the usual stuff really.
my FR costs me £600 declaring its been modified too fully comp
that said i am 25 lol
