Bumpers on insurance

Post by tomfinn94 »

Will a gsi bumper count as body kit?

I wouldn't have thought so as it's standard on a different model

Help

Tbh the sport line kit is noticeable compared to the standard and the gsi bumper just looks like a normal bumper with fogs so not a great deal to notice on that but i wud just play dumb and say it was on when u bought the car and u thought it was a standard bumper

what you have to think mate is that if you was involved in a front end collision and your car was repaired it would not get a gsi bumper back on so in reality yeah but in theory i wouldnt bother to be honest

as for the suspension ive never declared it on any of my cars but its your choice weather you do.

for the first time ever my car has been cheaper to insure with all my mods declared. i am getting old though

Call flux and sky and declare everything, they specialize in modified cars
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Hi,
Did we give you a quotation based on the car being modified as sometimes some of our modified car schemes are more competitive than the standard alternative?
Regards,
Dan.
