declaring mods....in that case do i need to tell them that i use Black Ice air fresheners, car seatcovers, HID's , alloys, air filter, diff radio?

Yes to all them, the HIDs shouldnt be fitted really so cant really tell them about that

petrol if ya think about it is a mod too

Well yes you do!

Air filter needs to be declaired, alloys if not factory fit, infact anything you've retro fitted or that was an option at manufacture technically.

I can't see how petrol is a mod unless the car was originally diesel

I'd be calling your provider tomorrow if I were you just to check, the last thing you want is an invalid policy

 

[Ashjj]

Its Stupid the stuff you should declare expecialy when it is an optional extra that has been pick from the show room. So technically nearly everyone has a modded vehical acording to insurance providers.

My advice is to delacre stuff but dont but daft.

just seen this thread.. beware of stickerbomb book stickers on the outside, coat them with some transparent foil or something, I didn't cover mine and they got ruined after a few rainy days / washes :bang:

otherwise, when you get the money, lower the car, get some nice 15" alloys, stretch rubber on them, and you have about 75% of good looks covered

and as for the widened steelies a few pages back, that can look great, I plan to do that for my winter set of wheels.. if I manage to save enough cash of course..

Dude, i LOVED what you did to your Punto! I put 3 coats of laquire on the Stickerbombs, so they should be good for a while!
But cheers for the advice lad! I do wanna lower this but it costs a fair bit, i seriously loved your Snowman, thats what made me believe that a MK2B could look awesome when modded

 

[Joshhh]

Going back to the induction kits, say if i wanted to make it sound a bit more BEASTY under the engine, which is best to do? Focus Kit or go build my own? (If that is the better option, could you build a list/instructions on how i can do that? I'd be extremely grateful )

 

[Joshhh]

Hello there! Long time no post guys. Right, i went on holiday with my bird and ended up forgetting to post on here what i did before i went. So now, i'm just gonna post everything back then and what i done today

Went into my loft to go get the old toy box and come across these:

So i went to work and a lad that works with me has a euro'ed to F*ck Golf and he said: "I just got rid of my caps for some i made, its easy to do."
So went home and got my girlfriends hot glue gun out with a stanley blade.

Right then, why have plain black valve caps?
No thank you.

Please ignore the dirty wheels

Also, Stickerbombing is fun:

Cheers to ascott92 for the advice with stickerbombing I cut off most the white around each sticker to get a better finsh

Sigh* cheers rain.

So thats whats been happening lately guys

Further Plans:
- Coilovers (WANT SO BAD)
- Footwell LED's
- HID's (Really, really want, could some link me to some please? )
- Fix that bumper/replace with a Sport Bumper
- Badgeless Grill (Yet again, could someone link me?)

Keep safe guys!

I like the Lego dust caps

However your headlamps are not suitable for HIDs and should not be fitted. I look forward to seeing the rest of your ideas being implemented.

 

[ascott92]

Awesome dude, looks good. Nice to see a car that's well done but not too serious and a bit of fun. The dust caps are a nice touch

And cheers for the HID comment! thats saved me hours of searching/buying incorrect ones, so yeah, thanks again

Know the feeling man, there's always something you want that is JUST out of reach. Tho when you do get them, i expect it to be throwing sparks

Oh trust me, it will Currently sorting out a new exhaust Fingers crossed!

 

[Johnno260]

steels aren't my taste, but each to there own.

if you wanted alloys, just fit some from a Sporting, you can find some decent deals on ebay for those at good prices as well.

Trust me bud, i've looked for alloys since i brought the car, but i'd spray them a different colour, couldn't stand the bog-standard grey-ish colour.


ALSO
Just brought a new exhaust should be here by the weekend but if not ill have to wait till the following weekend to mount on and ontop of that im on the final steps to fixing the bumper!
It's all coming together now guys/gals!
Until then, might go stickerbomb something else just for the crack of it.

This is a MK2B, has reflector lamps for both main and dipped beam rather than the projector and reflector on the MK2, therefore you cant put the HID's in the low beam.
