Good luck explaining that to your insurance company if your car gets stolen.
"Where were the keys?"
"Well, one was in the ingition but I modified the immobiliser so it's okay"
"Oh right, bye"
I paid £30 extra to protect my NCB. When I had my fault claim (over £3000 iirc) I had 6 years PNCB.
When I renewed after the claim I changed companies, my premium was £12 more than the previous year, and I still had my 6 years NCB.
Win.
Most companies require 5 years before you can protect.
But to answer your questions:
The year you claim in will not add to your NCB.
For example, I had 6 years protected NCB and I made a fault claim. When I renewed I still had 6 years protected NCB... a year on and I've now got 7 PNCB.
My old 182 NEVER saw over 30mpg around town. I went on a long trip a few times with surfboards on the roof and the car full of camping gear, sticking to every speed limit. Averaged 36, which is the most I ever saw out of it.
I'm rocking round town at 50mpg now, with over 60mpg combined :D
Huh? Ph1 172's had full painted bumpers.
You won't be able to fit a 172 front bumper straight on, you need 172 wings, arch liners and side skirts too. You'll be best off just colourcoding what you've already got on the car :)
How about PMing the traders who support the forum and asking? Pretty sure one of them will be the cheapest place.
They're not allowed to promote their products in these sections.
Which 172 do you have?
Personally, I would buy a Ph1 172 and uprate the brakes, get some sticky tyres, loose some weight and go and have fun.
Spend the money on some tuition and you'll be able to enjoy beating most things on track in the little Ph1.
