My insurers want an extra £30 if I fit EBC GreenStuff pads to my MY99 standard 4 pots
Is this normal...or don't people bother telling their insurers about brake pad upgrades ?

Does this mean they want know what petrol you put in it as-well!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats what I thought RON.

I sent a long email to BellDirect's Senior Technical bod asking about the millions of people on the UK roads with none 'original' parts which they have not declared, such as:
- brake pads fitted at Halfords or local garages
- tyres e.g how many stay with the original tyre make!
- wiper blades and bulbs.
- wax on the car !!!!!

From what they are implying, there are millions of cars on UK roads with invalid insurance !!!!!

Pete,
Don`t know who you`re insured with, but I would seriously consider looking round for another company cos your being "stiched up" m8

Can you give any indication who your insurers may be?

You should pay a lower insurance rate if you upgrade your brakes. Better brakes means better stopping which could mean more chance of avoiding an accident (how many accidents are the result of a 1 metre too long brake distance)!

I used to have a Impreza turbo which i smashed to pieces with loads of undeclared mods, Big wheels, Full(decatted system, EBC turbo pads, Discs, Airfilter.. I was with Direct line.. They asked me if it was modded.. I said no and they paided out in full(even for the mods) sorted!!

Don't u just love em!! I must admit i had a few sleepless nights until that cheque came.
