well thats made my mind up, im not modding the car. i wounder what hurdys mods all come to for additional premium?? as hes modded the most i would say, or maybe gaz's ed30 aswell??
Rang my insurer's earlier today (Privilege) to inform them I was changing my number plate to my personal plate. Thought I'd do the honest thing and tell them I had installed a Milltek cat back system. The robbing fu**ers have charged me an extra £57!!! That equates to nearly 10% of the premium. I find this totally unacceptable for a mod which offers little or no gain in performance. As I was racked off to say the least, I asked what difference a re-map from 230 to around 300 would make, and to add insult to injury they said only £140 A mere £90 more than a mod which has virtually no performance gains!! Yes they bang on about visually improving the car, but who the hell would spot it, unless you pointed it out? (apart from most of you lot that is!)What gets my goat up is that these people refuse to treat you as an individual, and are unwilling to take you on that basis. I have a no claims record going back over ten years! And they still feel the need to rob you blind at any given opportunity. OK £57 is not a great deal of money, but compared with the premium, and my claims history/age etc I feel they are taking the pi**.What kind of money have you guys had to pay for mods? I've gotta be honest it's putting me off doing any more to the car! Why should I line there already bulging pockets!! Rant over, step down from soap box!
