springs on insurance

[howie p]

had a small knock over crimbo, will need a new bonnet, and grill for my 172mk2 the bonnet will need spraying. thats about it. its booked in for the work in about 3 weeks.

ive currently got springs on the car that i havent declared, should i just send it in and not worry, or will i be in deep doo doo?

or should i change them back to std for insurance reasons?

what drop have they made on the car? and are they the same colour as OE? think you can guess where I'm heading here...

 

[howie p]

change them, it wont take long and could save u a packet! i have a set of 172 springs in my gargae if ur still up fr that swap, i can fit them for free

 

[thedoc]

hmm, I'd change them sharpish then.

How easy is to change them?

Might end up costing more time and effort then actually declaring them in the first place!

 

[ben_p]

you can change them in a few hours, if you have the right tools, garage will charge 60-90

If your cars going straight to a body shop, why change? Their not going to send out an insurance inspector for a 'little' bump surely! The body shops going no where near the springs! Better safe than sorry i guess????
