ive just been informed by my insurance company that if i went ahead and changed the TIP/BOOST PIPES/WATER LINES to silicone ones on the MK5 ive been looking at it would nullify my insurance - problem is ive already done it to my current MK 4 and didnt tell em :whistle: mainly because i dont class them as performance upgrades- its no different to changing engine oil from Tesco cheap sh!te to premium VW semi synthetic in my opinion, its a engine protection move, pre-empting the old rubber hoses perissing.
any way, does anyone know of a company that has no problem with my simple improvements, im not the only one ever to have done this or am i just being to bloody honest- im just not daft enough to realise that in the event i have a prang the insurance people arent out looking for the slightest reason NOT to pay out :angry:
if this should be in the insurance section im sorry but i need to get this sorted pronto so thought it might get more attention in here
cheers

Why don't you contact those companies who sponsor / have replied in the insurance section??
You've practically answered your own question :tongue: :smiley:

If it's on a new quote, no decent insurer of modified cars is going to complain about silicone hoses! Mid year changes maybe more of a problem so you might be charged a fee to change the policy - largely because most insurers are brokers so everyone needs to take their cut.
HIC, Sky, Greenlight, Flux - the usual suspects for 'best modified/classic/agreed value' car insurance.
