Car modifications - those huge exhausts could get your license taken off you

Most modifications make a vehicle more attractive to thieves, let alone affect the handling and performance of the vehicle ... that's the point in most cases. We gave Endsleigh Insurance a list of modifications: A new set of alloy wheels, Mobile phone attachment/Bluetooth installation, SatNav installation, Large exhaust attachments, Tinted windows, Alloy gear sticks/pedals, New stereo/CD changer, Luggage holder attached to the roof, Tow bar and Parking sensors. They said ALL of those items when added would have to be declared to your insurer. We asked Durham Constabulary, Kent Police and West Midlands police and they all said that if they see a strange modification, they contact the driver's insurance company to ask if it has been cleared with them. If it hasn't, then that individual may have invalid insurance, which gets you either points and a fine or your license taken off you.

Sad, when someone doesn't realise that their comments prove the point rather than show some sign of rebellion. sim019, everyone here will now have made the assumption that you're a tesco shelf stacker who spends all their cash on zit cream and big exhausts for their 10-year-old fiesta to try and make it sound like its sporty - it's not, and if you think teenage girls believe your car is now a Ferrari because the decibel level has increased ... you're very wrong ...
