what do i tell my insurance?
« on: 22 March 2007, 20:41 »
the 2e bottom end is ready to go in my 8v gti, just thinking about the insurance.....
do i tell them what i have done?
if so how does it work? do they need to know details of the car it came from?
does the conversion affect the premium much?
and finally, will any insurance company insure my car once its done?

cheers dudes

the updated server is ace btw.  :grin:

Not worth the risk.. Insurance engineers can smell a rat from 5 miles!

£50 extra for the year with my company, Chris Knott. If you can find a place that does it based on insurance groups then you're onto a winner, as the mk2 gti and mk3 gti are both group 14 (i think), and i've heard some places don't charge any extra!

Always tell them! Its not worth the hassle if they find out.

See here: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=51793.0 I replied to a similar question in the insurance section. Hope that helps but feel free to ask if you need any further help!

...joe often likes to get things off his chest and tell the nice insurance people. Not sure they're that interested in his insecurities and his life in general, but he tells them anyway, makes him feel better. :tongue: :laugh: :laugh:

Always tell them everything. If they can find a way to not pay something, they will. A friend of mine even informed them of a change of tyre make and spec for his Esprit V8.
