Can't have Sportlines, can I have Prolines?

[-Leigh-]

I wanted to fit some Sportlines tomorrow, but Directline won't let me until I'm 25, as they don't accept mods that change performance or looks of the car.

Could I fit Prolines instead? As they don't lower the car at all? Or will they not like this? They said I could fit non oe springs as long as they didn't increase performance or change looks.

I just wondered whether prolines came under this??

:clown: :dapprove: :S :evil: :rasp: :approve: :boring:

its easy to rub the Eibach logo off pro springs... they're black too.

read into that what you will.

As above really Prolines look very simlear to OE springs with them being black...

That's just too much like hard work lol. I'm not fussed on looks, just want better handling so they'll do for me honey bun.

They don't look lower though, so no need to try and hide anything.

of course they would. Insurance assessors are paid to do such things!

[Jay Payne]

well yes, you do... as did I with my insurance even though my car came with both cup packs as standard.

Red lowering springs will be more noticeable than a subtle cup spoiler though...

shoulda said to your insurance company that one of your back springs has gone, you've contacted renault and they've advised you its a 2 month wait for the spring to come in stock, another garage has offered to fit sportlines for the same price, they normally agree to it then

Yeah I was, but my bro asked if I could keep it for him until December, so I'm doing that.

K-Tec are bloody closed today anyway, so I have to wait another week now. Bloody useless they are.

You have to tell them about Turini's yes. ANY mod that changes the performance or appearance of the car from how it was sold must be declared. It's always been like this, I just always tell them about anything. But this time I didn't realise I'd have to be 25.

25?

I'm sure they move the goal posts every time you reach said limit

Yeah tell me about it!! It used to be 21 with them, so I went with over companies, now this year I went with them and when I ask it's 25. So annoying.

[Day]

Prolines, proven - ask fUbAr

Good Good prolines are for handling but i have noticed on burps car they do look lower not by much but then insurance is never going to notice.
