Yeah they wouldn't record "its appearance" as an added security feature on the GPZ either!

What? They're great value if you want some modifications that add no power or tasteful looks

That's why I used to use them. But they are robbing (what Loz said) anyway.

Well I thought I should add my exhaust to my insurance today, and I thought if it costs me an extra £100 or something so be it, at least I'm insured fully!

So after speaking to a nice lady making sure with me it was a road legal one.

BONUS!! It cost me nothing extra! Whoop!

I declared my race exhaust and the man on the phone asked if it was road legal. When I mentioned it was not he said that would not matter. When I got my insurance through it did not state the exhaust was not road legal, so they sent me a nice letter stating they knew the exhaust was not road legal but despite this fact they were prepared to insure me anyway. Just wanted that little bit of security for the 'just in case' possibility.

mad, im suprised they did that.

i tell them about exhausts and stuff like that, normally doesnt cost anymore money.

think with insurance companies is they are realy helpful unitl you want to claim, then you may as well be commiting fraud as they are always trying to find something so they dont have to pay.
