Can you eat it?

I remember growing cress (for an Easter Egg competition as hair) for my egg at Primary School.

It was a punky Egg.

they are only interested in direct internal engine modifications apparently and bodykits, smoothing etc. other than that there are no price increases.

they are sending the cover note today and according to my ma they have said they will send a complete list of any modifications i would have to declare.

Who are you insured with?

I'd be more worried about the GSR kit voiding any warranty!

The broken bit of my car that I originally thought was going to cost me dear is going to be covered under warranty, :woot: Also no longer any danger of random flames when I open the boot.

fully insured as the main driver with all mods declared for £1500

and unless they are direct engine modifications or body modifications there is no price increase.

the price increase is only due to now being the main driver and having a full license and there is no price change for the gsr

Im impressed! When I was with Norwich Union they wouldnt touch modded cars..... When I had my GSR on the Stilo I paid an extra £100 for the mod.

Nah.

IIRC The contract will read along the lines of (and i'll clarify this in case its not clear) 'The onus is on the POLICYHOLDER (e.g.: YOU) to DECLARE ANY ALTERATIONS or MODIFICATIONS made to the insured vehicle outside of otherwise STANDARD SPECIFICATION'

I've been insuring the Cinq as modified for the last few years now, and I've never heard of an insurer publishing a list of declarable mods. The onus is on you and you alone to inform them. Some things they will be interested in (e.g.: Massive Alloys, ICE that could power the local grid, engine mods etc.) and other things they wont be interested in (e.g. Special Controls, seats, harnesses etc.)

If you arent going to declare it you may as well cancel the policy - your uninsured anyway!

On topic - finishing work and coming home to angel

no no no. my ma declared it and was then told there will be no difference in the price and asked what modifications would need to be declare to which the response was direct internal engine modifications and body modifications. she then asked for this in writing and they are sending it with the policy document and cover note.

£1500 with mods?
Thats a kick in the crotch seeing as mines technically £1900 for a year :'(

Then again I only took it for the NCB boost
