I declared alloys, but that's it. Inusrance didn't even care though coz i'd bought them second hand from ebay!!
As yet I havn't really got any mods to declare, but I will probably tell them about the alloys whenever I get them.

if that's what they've said, then fair enough. dont always have to declare EVERYTHING. My mates Sigma Estate got broken into a few years ago and they nicked DVD player. Insurance paid for replacement window, but not DVD player as wasn't declared.
If it's something hat will change performance of the car (speed, handeling, anythin), then you should declare it IMO. "Accessories" such as radios, subs don't always.
But then again, it could still void warrenty.
I declared window tints (front and rear), thinking that it will ad towards security as people can't see in. Insurance class it as a Mod and may even invite people to break in to see what's hidden behind the glass. Fair point. Changed nothing on my payments anyway.
Just ring and ask TBH

Insurance said if i want stuff inside car, like ice etc, to be covered if broken into then i need to declare that and there will be no extra charge to policy or anything, which is alrite.
lol, and i think my insurance aren't that bothered about the mods i do to performance and stuff, coz there isn't really any mods that will do anythin major to performance for our little engines!

haha, its almost as good as mine! i phoned up my insurance about my new back box, the conversation went something liek this:
Her: hello how can i help you today
me: i would like to say, the back of my exhaust was changed as the old one had rusted through..
Her: ok sir, was it the standard one put back in its place?
me: urm no its a stainless steel back box as they dont rust....
Her: ok sir, i guess that will be a modified exhaust ?
me: urm no, its a bit like the standard one but is a bit like the upgraded model of my car that fit...
Her: ok so a modified back box ?!
Me:yea.. urm.. no, its stainless steel and it lo....... (she butts in)
Her: ok a sir, its a modified back box, stainless steel. thats £10 more.
Me: yea... ok... that will do.
lol felt stupid for trying to get away with a standard back box in SS

when mine was insured, I thought i'd try local broker, parked in car park, and the desk I sat at, she could see straight through door and must have seen me pull in.
When asked if I had mod, I said "yeah, rear window tints". She then said, "what about the fronts, they look a little darker"
cost nothing for any of the windows to be declared

They sell them in my local Tesco for £8 each, i'd say thats fair play!
Was thinking of getting some today actually.
I've got bad new though, I'm moving to Barbados in September and you can't import cars over 4 years old, and if they're younger than that you have to pay a 310% import duty! Savage!
Put my Mini Wheels on too which needed the centre bore Dremelling out, but they look pretty sweet imo. I'll get some pics up.
you can get aero wipers from tesco????? for 8 quid each????
that's good!I have a massive tesco by me and the car section is tiny, doesn't even sell normal wipers!
310% import duty!!! OUCH!!! could you not just sell your car and get a much better new car cheaper out in barbados?
Just order the aeros off ebay for like £12, easily an improvement. Gonna look out for the right dewiper cap things in b&q etc and maybe attempt the dewiper the rear
clarkey, get those pics up
clarkey, get those pics up
I know you've prob said before, but have you got the link from ebay for those wipers? Are they good quality for the money??
Also, what does everyone reckon to a remus back box, custom made to fit my 1.4 ibiza for £137.99 which includes all fittings etc for me to fit myself?
Is that price about right??

try the above website, thats where i got mine from - not ded expensive either...
have a look at www.exhaustsuk.com - they are based in sheffield, really good quality company i had a full stainless system custom fitted for £285, expensive but well worth it imo...
By the way hello all 1.4 ers i've been away for a while having a new clutch fitted and also the pedal box sorted £480.00 in total the *******s lol!!!!
How are we all???

Welcome back! Im happy cos i just got a fantastic insurance quote through Adrian Flux! So good that im now on the look out for a cupra or FR TDi?
My insurance is down to £450 now so i've been looking at cupras too... jus keep thinkin:
Good points to a cupra:
- power
- looks
- more power
Bad Points to a cupra:
- tax
- petrol
- insurance
- speeding fines lol!
- selling my 1.4
Who are u insured with nev? It's the tax which is holding me back a bit as i dont wuna find out its more than i want to pay and then go back to a smaller engine! But i think having a Leon FR may help a little bit being a derv? It should make it easier to sell our little engines when the tax comes in for new driver, no?
Good point it will make them easier to sell and also cupras cheaper to buy cos no-one wants the high cost of tax etc...
I'm insured with Swinton

those are exact ones I got-great wipers, espec for price.
remus back box sounds about right. My custom back box was £160 but that included them fitting it and everything. Would u have any type of guarantee?
