What classes as a modification?
« on: 18 December 2008, 16:36 »
My insurance is up in january and have had a couple of bits put on the car this year. It now has a s/s cat back exhaust and a replacement air filter. Not much i know but they can be funny sometimes. Oh and a replacement head unit.

The exhaust and filter will count as performance mods and need declaring.

Iv just got a decent Alpine HU with sub and amp.

1.Its impossible for them to know I have sub and amp unless the follow me home from hearing me

2.Mine isnt SILLY expensive.

0% chance Im even giving my insurance the chance to charge me more than they already have the cheak to charge me.
