Hey,
Been having a bit of a nightmare with this today. Obviously I dont want my insurance to be void, so must declare all modifications. I havnt bought the car yet but I like it a lot.
The guy selling the mk4 gti 1.8t is chucking in a new intercooler kit, new throttle body, 4 bar fuel reg and stainless exhaust mainifold. This was in preperation of the stage 2 map he wanted to put on, but now he has to sell. I would like to continue with the modding but when I proposed to them that I would be doing this in the future, I was told that they might not beable to insure me.
So my question is this: Can I pretend that the car already has the stage 2 remap with all parts fitted, when they havn't yet been? Surely in the result of a claim, they will say "oh, you dont have the upgraded part here, just the oem", I cant see how that would be a problem.
Just annoying how they will insure me on a car which already has mods, but not on one which I may mod in the future (aka invalidating my insurance).
Any help would be very much appreciated.
