declaring dark side repeaters?



  MK2 PH2 & E46 330
was just wondering, if you change your side repeaters to say dark ones. do you then need to declare them on insurance?

the only thing i guess you would declare it as would be the "exterior decorative changes".

for side repeaters!!! dont even think of declaring them. insurance companies use scare tactics so that u`ll declare everything but thats not worth it. there little minute things on the side. something you dont even notice. if it was a quad headlight kit or something then yes declare that but dont bother with them

What if i change the oil form elf to castrol, its not how it left the factory, therefore not standard :S
 
yeah and you'd best tell them that the car hasnt got the michelin tyres on it that were factory fitted cos you've bought Continental and that you've replaced the oil and air filter for new 1s. pmsl

on a serious note, waste of time telling them about side reps or things like badges, bump strip removal, colour coding. only things like tints, wheels, exhaust, kits, induction kits, mirrors, lights, engine/mechanical mods.

small simple things and most interior mods dont need to be declared, unless you've stripped it out fitted buckets and a cage.

I declared silver visisons and EBC Green stuff pads ;)

Saying that, Mine had so many modifications, I just sent them a feature of it and it had pics and all my mods listed.

i declaired mine when i had my R5 at 18 yrs old and they said to me
"Mr Steele you're insurance will not change. How ever if they're not E marked then we will withdraw our cover of you're car. However I will make a note of it for you."

why dont you tell them about the vaniloramma air freshner while your at it?

pmsl, id love to hear what they would say if you rang up to add you magic tree mod! lol

A bit like this:

"Hello Angelamangla speaking how may i help you?"

"Hello my policy number is 12345 and i am wanting to declare some changes to my Renault Clio 2001 1.2l."
"Yes Mr Blahblah. I have to confirm your details, so can i have your super secret password?".
"Emm. The password should be 'Renaults0wnnz'."
"Thank you sir, now how can i help you today Mr Blahblah?"
"I would like to declare the modifications to my car."
"Ok sir, that will be no problem. Can i take a list on what you have modified?"
"Yes, i have introduced my car to the Magic Tree New Car Scent Part No. MT10189."
"Oh thank you sir, just to let you know, this will add extra cost onto your policy. Due to the car not being as factory standard."
"Really, are you serious?"
"Yes sir, very serious! If you hadnt of told us of this modification we would have null and voided your insurance!"
"Ohh right, how much extra will it be?"
"Approximately around an extra £15 per month, excluding VAT"
"Thank you i will be accepting this charge as its really good value for money"
"Thank you, i have updated your policy as discussed, but are there any other modifications that you would like to declare?"
"Not that i know of, unless you count the pink furry dice on my grab handles too?"
"Thank you this also needs to be declared due to the policy being further invalid due to the modifications. The computer is reporting that because you are a valuable customer that we can offer the cover for an extra £2.56, excluding VAT. Are you willing to go ahead?"
"Yes please, my car is 100% legal and especially since im a valuable customer i will be paying the extra to be totally road legal."
"Thank you sir, is there anything else i can help you with?"
"No thank you. Have a nice day"

Behind the scenes, Angelamangela is now celebrating her increase in pay due to commission.

Ahh well, glad i could make someone laugh at the wee story.

However Angelamangela is a real person, each time you phone a company this women/man appears when you ask to talk to someone.
