would insurers know (if the car was inspected by them) if you did a phase 1 to phase 2 dash conversion?

and would you have to declare sport seats in a non sport? surely you wouldn't because its just a Renault seat?

sadly the seats are something you have to declare apparantly mate, i have mine declared and doesnt really alter the price much after speaking to them over the phone,

the dash im not sure about, i'd assume that a competant inspector would know but its not worth risking mate if you are thinking of not declaring, i had a mate claim for an accident and he lost out as uninsured because he genuinely didn't know that his car had uprated shocks that the previous owner had fitted :/

i know mate but they assumed he was lying and that he had chosen not to declare them... :/

truth is it really isnt worth not declaring :/ and i know honesty has its price (i'm paying a bit over 2 grand for a car thats valued at 1 grand tops, with 3 years no claims and no points etc)

oh right! :/

 

[Spinksy]

oh right! :/

it sucks man to be honest but its the price of modifying cars nowadays :/ they want circa 1800 for mine as standard so really not a massive difference on mods for me :/

 

[DanEdser]

what about cup interior..? that isnt leather and is exactly the same as my interior but just doesnt have the ghey design.

 

[Tunst]

Its ot worth the risk tbh mate, if your going to change it declare it and then you know its safe... Also cup interior ftw! I love mine, was going to change it but kind of thinking twice as its so much more supportive and comfortable than the half leather

 

[DanEdser]

sad face.

 

[Spinksy]

i know how you feel mate but you should be able to justify the cost if you really want to mod the car if not save up and wait till insurance drops a bit

Hes looking at contract manager positions at construction companies. His previous job was Operations Director of a modular building company, earning quite alot of money.. he's had 2 interviews for different companies which pay way less than he was before, and they didnt want him :/

Apparently there is a shortage of my dads position in NZ/Oz and they pay mega bucks for em :/
