You should really declare anything on the car if it is not a standard fit. You could get away with saying the exhaust is just a replacement and does not increase power but may not be able to with the induction.
Sorry I haven’t responded to this but it is hard for me to always check the forum for specific threads. If you ever have a problem with the insurance scheme then contact me on either mailto:geoff@cliosport.net">geoff@cliosport.net or mailto:insurance@cliosport.net">insurance@cliosport.net and I...
I used to have a Fiesta Zetec-S and that used to take ages to clean the wheels....I now have 5 spokes on my BMW and they take about 2 minutes each...heaven!
It was round £200 but it was a development kit. That price included:
Filter, Custom housing, Heatshield, Twin air feeds, Cold air scoop and fitting
Whether Nick is still doing them I dont know but it was awesome sounding!
I had a Ram Air Induction kit on mine which was fitted by Nick Hill....loud as hell but I loved it!

I had the cold air scoop fitted into the bottom of the wheel arch which ran straight into the air filter and then another...
I ran mine through the rubber gromit that is in the passenger footwell. I had to pierce this with a knife and this brings you out in a recess next to the suspension...if i remeber correctly. I lubed up the cable with some baby oil and ran it through the gromit and then fed it into the engine bay...
I got my centre section of exhaust paid for by the dealer as it was still under warranty. Had done 12k, was 8 months old at the time and was an import!
I was 19 when I had my 172 and I was looking at buying a BMW M Coupe but cant quite stretch to the price. Insurance for me (23, 4 years NCB and driving for 5 years) was £1300, not bad when you consider its a group 20+ car.
Unfortunately thats why I sold mine and got a BMW. In a year I had:
1) Rear brakes pads dissintegrate on me whilst driving
2) Steering wheel not straight
3) Rear lights cutting out randomly
4) Brake lights not coming on until the brake pedal was nearly fully depressed
5) Exhaust centre...
They have only just released SP4 for 2k too!
I love the way Windows ME...widely regarded as the worst OS ever to grace the face of the earth...is not affected!

Youre really going to hate my car now!
Sorry to hear that J - I have come to the opinion that instead of speeding Im going to go out and nick things for kicks...I know for a fact that I will only get a warning and perhaps a bit of community work...but at best I could get a free holiday...
JJ172 - Where were you? Was going to have a chat to you but most people thought you hadnt turned up?
I wish there had been a passenger option open as I felt a bit peeved at paying £25 for a BBQ. Good to chat to a few of you though.
