well if you crash your insurance will be null & void and you'll probably get done for it also if you involve another car

all you have to do is ring your insurance and say
"im thinking of making a few modifications to my car, can you tell me how much it would add to my premium" then tell them what you have
simple as that

well i am with tesco and i did that and he told me as long as u dont make performance changes then it doesnt affect ure policy. i am sceptical about this and feel i may ring them back and ask for this in writing

Unless their policy varies with age, i doubt it. They wanted an extra £100 to put my alloys on the car for a year!

Yeah, your right, this may sound silly but is there anyway you can insure your car with styling mods on but say if something does happen the insurance dont pay for it, do you get what i mean? Kinda have them on with insurance knowing but not actually insured,
