Many ThanksTo be honest at 17 years of age, I'd ring your insurance company up and ask them what you are allowed to do. Thinks like de-badging and de-bumpstripping should be okay though. And you'll get away with little things such as a shorter aerial. But I wouldn't think there will be a lot you can do without bumping your insurance up sky high or voiding it I'm afraid.

But I never told them bout my coilies, alarm, smoothed boot, or that it was chipped... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadmetal Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 When I put alloys on my car Adrian flux didnt ask for any mor money, I think the fact I have locking wheels nuts helped though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOCK Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 (edited) Many visual mods DO put insurance premiums up as they i) slightly increase the overall value of your car and ii) make your car more desirable to thieves. There are a few companies out there like Quinn who will insure wheels for no extra cost, but I think you'll find that the majority will increase your premium by 5-10% for alloy wheels and then another 5-10% for coilovers.
