Not really putting our insurance up as in the event of an accident their insurance company would pay out to the third party as normal. The insurance company may even set out to recover their losses from the policy holder who submitted a fraudulent policy application which they would be entitled to do. I wouldn't want to be personally accountable for a written off Impreza, damage to other vehicles and personal injury.

I don't really care, I've declared everything that's not OEM on my car, even brake pads.

Why are you so surprised that not all people with modified cars havent declared them to the insurance company?

Do you really believe that all the people with mega BHP Scoobys/Evo's etc declare ALL their mods, cos I certainly dont think they do!

If he choses not to declare the mods then its his risk if he had an accident which is HIS fault, if its not his fault then im pretty sure that the insurance will only replace his damaged modified parts for standard items.

Its people who dont insure the cars who cause the premiums to go up when they have a crash, and in some respect the younger drivers who insure a car on there parents policy and then have an accident.

Just my 10p's worth

the way i understand it is if u mod your car and dont tell the insurance they can make your policy void but in most cases they will pay out the 3rd party but your lose your claim so technically a modified car with undeclared mods fully comp is as good as 3rd party and thats it. personally i wouldnt run the risk once my car has its mods done everything will be declared cos if something should happen id be more likely to get my money back

I agree but its still a bit of a con from the insurers. Irrespective of whether the car has 250 or 350 horsepower, if your a tit behind the wheel your going to crash anyway. Making the car more worthwhile to theives also holds thin water. If they know how to get past the best alarms on the market what difference does it make to how the car looks.

However, not declaring mods more or less means your insured 3rd party only. More fool those that pay fully comp or declare the wheels but not the suspension, engine, mods.
