Had an interview with the Armed Forces Careers Office there, hoping to join the RAF in the summer. I think it's in the Oracle or something, whatever the shopping centre is called. It was a nightmare to get to, got lost twice lol, never using google maps again!

Focus induction


That was when i first installed it, the filter is really dirty now. I didnt tell my insurance lol

Re: My Punto Mk2 - will add to it in the future

Ooh nice, I was gonna put the GSR F39i induction kit in mine when I got round to it, but it's pretty expensive for the time being.

And I don't wanna have some nutter crash into me and then my insurance not pay out cos they say I have un-declared modifications, that would not be cool.

I fail to see what's funny about having undeclared mods.

It effectively means you're driving without insurance.

You may as well go the whole hog and not bother with insurance at all. Save you a fortune, that would....

Yes, driving without insurance is hilarious.

Especially if you mow someone down, then end up paying for it for the rest of your life.

It's just not worth it to save a few quid - and any undeclared modifications are reason enough for an insurer not to pay out.

If you did have a smack where the police were involved, one of the first things they'll look into is the validity of your insurance - especially in a modified car.

I know, I know. I was stupid, I definaly not doing it with this car as id hate to lose everything & not be able to afford a car & not get insured again.

Re: My Punto Mk2 - will add to it in the future

Totally agree and would also be such a waste of the money and hard work you put into the car, it's not worth it.

Also by telling the insurance company at least there's a degree of honesty there. And so far they've told me that they won't even raise my insurance by anything with the mods I've currently got, only performance upgrades they will. So it's worth talking it out with them.

Re: My Punto Mk2 - will add to it in the future

I'm gonna get to work colour coding the door handles and wing mirrors sometime next week, or the week after maybe as I am in the workshop most of next week building a drinks cabinet nice eh.

So look out for pics once I've done some painting.
