You shud always enquire how much it will cost before you mod it. Most insurance companies dont touch cars thats just been lowered...you either pay loads on top of your existing policy or your poicly be void altogether.

CIS insurance didn't alter my premium when I told them about my suspension kit or other mods. they only worry about performance enhancing engine mods.
It depends who your with.

And to answer your thread title I doubt Vauxhall would use language like that to a customer

lol that would be cool if they didnt alter it... but does that mean if the car gets damaged, they will only replace to standard?

right i'm with elephant.co.uk and the only thing they wanted more cash for was the alloys & the lowered suspension. They only seem to want more for things that will affect the performance (K&N, Exhaust, cams etc) or that will affect the handling (wheels, springs etc). hope this helps.

no point saying anything as you can swap the original airbox back in 15mins if need be!

i'd be assuming they'd replace the mods seen as i am paying extra to insure them!
