[toms_cup]

could do, but if i wrote it off, like quite a few cups recently , i dont wanna get completely screwed!!

Do you think theyd notice if it was a mangled heap of metal? Probably not unless you get some brightly coloured springs or coilovers.

Tesco want 115 quid off me for a 15mm drop.. stupid likes..

I wouldnt tell them, the insurance assessor would never know.

 

[Daipac]

It just seems a HUGE risk to take surely ?

If you play dumb and say I bought the car like that, I didnt know it was modified, will that hold up ?!?! Doubt it ?!?!?

 

[psychy]

try elephant....just got mine renewed wid them.

cost me extra £30 or so.....although its only up to 50mm and my car is a 1.2. worth a try tho. Also, add your mum and dad..it will lower price.

The Eibach Pro springs only drop the 172 10mm from its standard height anyway.

I have been phoning a few places and they all say you need to be 25 to drive a modified car ! WTF !?!?!!

my insurance said if it was 40mm or less there was no problem, but anything more than that and they would have to add to premium etc

who u with chris?

 

[CHR15G]

that was when i was with norwich union.

Try liverpoolvictoria mate - Last I heard they dont charge for body mods.

 

[Clio_novice]

Dont bother telling them, i just got me eibach springs (30mm lower) and they are just plain black. Once they are on and dirty how will they know they are lower?? Elephant want £70 off me, so they can go swivel.

 

[toms_cup]

that on a cup clio_novice? if it is, is the handlin much better/worse?

 

[Clio_novice]

No mate sorry, its on my 206 GTi. Havent fitted them yet they only arrived today.
