First Mods

[GeeUK]

Hello people.

I have just bought a Clio Dynamique 1.2 16v on a Y reg.
Ill post some pictures soon.

Anyway, what do you reckon for my first mods?
My insurance is mega high and Ive only been driving 8 months, so what mods do you reckon I can get away with or ones that wont up my insurance that much?
I was thinking maybe an air filter or induction kit? And a back box...
What do you guys think?

Cheers!

id get an exhaust or a ik first

 

[GeeUK]

Is there alot more difference between a IK and an air filter?

 

[renaultsport83]

whatever u put on mate, if u bang it the insurance will know! im 21 soon got loads of mods and im still paying 900 for 1.2 16v. be careful!

 

[JAY172]

the k-tec induction kit and reallocation pipe looks good.youll not gain a great deal but youll get the noise.a few people on here have got them im sure theyll post their views for you.

 

[JAY172]

i suppose it also depends on your insurance company on how much theyll add on for mods.some companys arent bothered,others will charge you a fortune.

 

[GeeUK]

I meant BHP and performance of the car mate. Is there much difference?
How much did your insurance company charge you extra for an air filter?

Hell yeah! So glad I joined! the meets and free laps around variouse race tracks are well worth it!

 

[renaultsport83]

i know its a joke but what can i do! i cant lie. i told them i had a increase of 6bhp for the viper and im getting my zorst soon and a total increase of about 11 bhp they said +140 im so tempted to remove the mods and get a faster standard car!

Was this a one off payment?

 

[renaultsport83]

over the year. extra 12 quid a month

 

[maff]

thats quite a bit, how much was your insurance to start with? can you have up to a certain amount of mods for that £140 extra or just them two

 

[niksmith]

dont tell the insurance company of any little mods. you only need to worry if they send out an inspector but if you do any mods remeber to remove them. an induction kit can be removed and can get away with it but an exhaust you will have to be carfull of. wheels should be alrite i havent said anything and have also got an induction kit. try not to crash in the first place and your be alrite mate.

 

[renaultsport83]

i can have up to an extra 20bhp for that extra 140 quid. not bad really.

 

[maff]

ah that isnt so bad

 

[renaultsport83]

thats with renault insurance ( uk insurance ltd )

 

[maff]

Jesus!

im with them, no mods yet though. didnt think they would actually cater for modded cars! the renault insurance was last year by far the cheapest quote i could find, plus they gave me extra ncbs for renewing with them which was nice.

 

[Rich_M]

i got ktec ik, it sounds nice, nice growl. want relocation kit tho.

Err we all try not to crash but they why we pay for insurance. Why pay for insurance and then invalidate it? Mods cannot be removed if your inhospital.

Take the safe option and tell your insurance company about all mods. Otherwise insuracne is a waste of money as its invalid.

I agree matey. Got my insurance sorted. Pick the car up on thurday. Woot!
