obviously this isn't the place for the question I've asked. most of you are concerned with the legitimacy of what i've asked and trying to point my wrongs out. to be frank, i don't feel the need to defend myself or my (future) actions. just for the record though, the current mods that are in place (exhaust already fitted + have the new air filter) have been declared on policy quotes.

feel free to argue amongst yourselves
But you come on here, talk a load of bks that changes as you realise how stupid your ideas are and somehow that's everyone's fault but yours. You are a moron.

asking something that's dodgy, isn't talking bks. i realised that 95% of you (think there was one person giving the advice i was after) aren't interested in advising something dodgy, and would prefer to advise me on either theright way of doing things, or let me know how you think i should - which was not the point in the post.

maybe i was naive to think i'd get an answer, but i've come to realise in my short time on these forums, that if someone doesn't agree with what you're saying; rather than ignoring it and moving to a different thread, people are over-fruitful in providing their opinion and slating the OP when they disagree
I'm the same age as you, so if you want advice from someone who is the same age and on the same page as you I would read this properly.

What you are doing IS illegal. There is no doubt about that at all.
WHEN (not if) you get caught you will need a lot of lube and buy a lot of soap on a rope.

Also, paying the high premiums now is a massive pain in the ass, I know this, but, I started in a pants little Ford Ka, no mods, and kept it for about a year. As soon as I got my 1 years NCB I started looking around at hotter cars, I ended up with the Turbocharged Fiat I have now, then had no mods.

I recently started modifying it (Custom cat-back, remap imminent) and have told my insurance company, their response? £20 admin fee.

I now pay LESS than £700 a year which includes a lot of business miles and a fair few extras, fully comp I might add.

Coming on here asking for approval to do something illegal is not only stupid, but if you do get caught committing fraud, the police will check your laptop and will find this thread. Soap on a rope will then come in handy.

In a sentence, cough up now and be honest. Trying to save £500 here will costs you THOUSANDS in the long run, because not only will your policy be voided when they find out, you'll have to declare the conviction for insurance fraud, and If they insure you, £2,500 will seem like all of your christmas' have come at once, it'll be more like £7,000, on something basic with no mods.

So stop acting like a tt who thinks he knows best and listen to the people who have been in your position, and now have nice cars.
