Anybody in my age bracket 19-20 added a 60mm throttle body or axle spacers to their policy?

if so what did they charge you, my renewal is coming up and just interested what the going rate is for adding those things !

Cheers. Jake

TBH I wouldn't bother about the throttle body

Depends who are with, generally admiral have been about £40-60 per mod

i know adding mods is important and i have declared all mine.

but is anyone goin to notice the difference in a couple of mm on a throttle body?? know one would know it was different by looks and is still a ford product. i wouldnt bother.

and axle spacers again isnt such a visable thing but up to you. i wouldnt say it would be much of a change. possibly admin charges depending on company as well

I dont think they'd notice the throttle body but it might be worth declaring. I payed £52 for one mod at 19, so I had to chose between lowering, K&N and axle spacers because it was £160 for 2 mods...

Your just too slow

my message was longer... thus taking longer to type

Your obviously a woman....using more words than necessary

well yes they do.. but sadly for you i am not a woman

haha, now now boys, ok i was unsure on the throttle body as you say cant really tell the difference from looking at the engine, at the moment added to quote got full system,lowered,k&N and its gone up on a quote from 970 to 1030. things to add on the phone is throttle body axle spacers and grilles black, so might just do the axle spacers and grilles. Cheers !

dont worry Adams just upset he was hoping for more boobs on the site

oh, im with admiral. cheapest by far!

admiral FTW! me too!

come to think of it, so do i Adam!

Apparently Steph does

Dan, Adam and Duncan are you going round ruining all the topics tonight lol? just read 4 threads and they have all been useless crap from the 3 of you hahaha

As above both of those are pretty inconspicuous so i wouldn't bother if i was you. I haven't told my insurance company about lowering and my K&N lol

wont include throttle body but i might do the axle spacers , few days yet, will have a think.

I wouldn't declare them at all. Not worth it
I've declared all my mods but I don't think an insurance company would know that the throttle body is 5mm wider
I wouldn't waste your time and money mate...

I told mine that I was ading my only mod (K&N ) the day of renewal and they didn't charge

ok kaxe good advice! cheers

and as for the TB, they would only know it was different if they took it off and measured it, referneced it against another one that was standard. but if you were in an accident and the damage was bad enough to have the need for throttle body replacing, i think it would be a write-off anyway as youd have lost your entire front end.

adrian flux got me my insurance through equity red star i think?, 4 mods added (K&N, flexi, wheels, grills), policy went up £0

ahh i will check them out

He missed the '9' before the '0'

apparantley i can keep changing stuff for free until i greatly increse the performance of the car

thats the only two bits my insurance dont know about on my car, trying to explain that to india is gonna be impossible!

mine has a K&N, exhaust/manifold and lowered 20-50mm cost £30 to add and im 22

your with admiral too? maybe its different over the phone i may aswell just call them

im with Elephant but the same company!

i always do a standard car on an online quote! and then add the mods when you talk to them on the phone!

if i put the mods into a confused.com search its always over 2k

depends on the case I suppose. And also depends what has happened to the car
yeah i guess they would say that but in fairness it probably has happened to some people so would be pretty unlucky! (take the guy who registered on here with a "Fully standard ST" now found out he has full miltek exhaust, k&n and 60mm throttle body etc etc)

Yeah totally dependent on the case. Was only something to consider mate, especially when it's so cheap to declare stuff anyway...

it is if you're with a company that allows you to mod the car lol
I'm omitting certain truths in other areas so i'm willing to take the risk

True, I dont know who you're insured with. Oh Fair play then

i had this with the repairer trying to screw me over! i wasnt happy with what he was going to do to my car!

i had a phone call from my insurance company telling me i had illegally modded my car...

the garage had told them my car had an exhaust system and was lowered over 60mm

(they say over 60mm's as they lined it up next to a standard fiesta and it was that much lower, stupid people not knowing the ST is lower to start with)

that was over a bumper scrape!

the insurance new about all the mods already though! they were just questioning how low the car was... which trying to explain to a women who noes nothing about cars that it only has different springs so cant physically be that low was a very difficult task!

the only reason the garage tried that was that when they saw the paperwork it said standard car as they must have got the original policy from when it was standard and i had added the bits later!
