Seeing as a 1.2 is all im gonna get with half decent insurance seeing as i aint been driving long...(although it seems many say theres not much to gain out of a 1.2) is there anything i can do to the 1.2 without insurance noticing?!

Buy a TDi Sport insurance group 6/7

 

[davels]

yeah not really alot you can do matey and what you can do would need to be declared sawwwwrie

 

[Guinness]

**** Im still shi*ing it about what I need to declare lol

 

[davels]

well at least the SEAT sport strut brace was a factory option and on when you bought the car guiness

 

[Guinness]

yes, so where the alloy wheels, fog lights etc.... all stock honest

 

[depresion]

Even a factory option should be declared, there was a woman locally who had her Golf written off and due to having factory alloys that weren't standard (it was an optional pack IIRC) the insurance wouldn't pay out. Anything they think they can get away with as an excuse not to pay they will use.

As for getting more performance out of your 1.2 you could whip the rear seats out (don't put in a false floor) and if you have an accident just say you were on the way back from the tip or going to B&Q and needed the space. It's a free mod that one so good if you are on a budget.

Weight reduction
Take any unnecessary weight (seats you don't us, spare wheel etc)
It'll make more difference to a normally aspirated car than anything below major upgrades. Can't see why it would effect your insurance either.

 

[hon_n_gem]

^^ yeah agreed remove everything! im gonna do it to my old 1.2 clio this summer to see how much difference it will make!

 

[rashcupra]

if you want fast and cheap insure buy a pd100 or pd130 beezer they are very low on insurance and really cheap to run and can be modded up to 180bhp!!!!! with just a remap and panel filter i know its a diesel but they are fast!

 

[dasmith83]
