I don't want to be a dick, but it's people that modify cars to such an extent and don't declare it that costs me more money in insurance.
You should read this, I think it happened a week or so ago. In a nutshell - A girl modified a corsa - lexus lights, neons etc. Crashed. Insurance are now suing her for breach of policy and won't pay out.
A DRIVER whose car was involved in a fatal accident is being sued by her insurance company after she failed to tell them the vehicle had been souped up.
In a High Court writ, Diamond Insurance claims Anne Bissmire’s Vauxhall Corsa had a host of modifications it had not been made aware of, including lowered suspension and alloy wheels, when it was involved in the smash in London Road, Hadleigh, in 2006.
The car was being driven by Mrs Bissmire’s teenage relative Daniel Bissmire, thought to be her son.
Charlie Morris, 26, died after being flung through the car window and on to the Victoria House Corner roundabout, hitting the Bernard Braine clock.
Two other teenagers were also injured and Mr Bissmire suffered a fractured pelvis and ruptured spleen. He admitted causing death by dangerous driving and was jailed for four years at Basildon CROWN Court in 2008.
The car had been insured just a month before the accident.
Diamond Insurance is seeking a ruling from the High Court that it should not have to pay out on the insurance policy due to the modifications on the car.
As well as the alloys and the lowered suspension, it is claimed the car had a vent added to the bonnet to give greater air intake, an induction air filter and a stainless steel unit on the exhaust silencer.
Other changes included extra lights, rear lamp clusters, foot pedal covers, gear lever knob, carpet mats, seat covers, multi-disc player and head unit.
Diamond is also seeking costs from Mrs Bissmore, of Sedgehill Road, London.
There is no suggestion that Mr Bissmire was not insured on the car. He had been driving back to his home in South London from Southend in a convoy of three cars when the crash happened.
But Basildon CROWN Court heard the dad-of-one had been trying to entice the drivers of the other two cars into a race and was travelling at more than 60 miles an hour.
Diamond spokesman James Carnduff said it was not appropriate to comment on an ongoing case.
He added: “We would urge drivers to keep their insurance company informed of any modifications made to their vehicle as this could impact on whether the insurer would be able to cover the car or not.”

Well, to be fair, he said IT'S STILL REGISTERED AS A 316.....by which i assume he means the V5 shows it as a 316......he has said nothing about the insurance company......he may have told them, he may not, I don't know......but nor do you..........

Also, where does the deffinition of a mod change to an accesory??
I don't see how any of the above (about the crash) could have caused or prevented an accident?? Even the induction kit and exhaust shouldn't come into play if the car is doing a constent speed that the stock car would be capable of, even if it was speeding, the stock car can still speed, sounds like an insurance company trying to get out of paying up in a case of driver error.

Fair enough, no need to be on the massive offence, I did say I don;t wanna be a dick, i;m just concerned.
It seems odd that you would declare *all* the mods to the insurance company, but not the DVLA.
If this is the case, then i apologise, but it would be the first instance i've seen a car declared as one thing legally on the V5, and insured as something different.

I don't usually come don on the side of insurance companies but in that case I have some sympathy. The fact that the company are suing MRS blahdiblah would suggest she is the policyholder with young son as a named driver....in other words, Mrs Blahdiblah should be the main driver. I must say, she has a strange taste in vehicle modifications for a middle aged mother. Now, as an insurance company, there's a world of difference in risk between a middle aged woman insuring a stock unmodified small car for her own use and occasional use by her son and the risk presented by a boy racer insuring his car under his mums name to get a lower premium. They may be unable to prove that son is the main user so are going at it from another angle......Would YOUR mum put neons on her car? ?

Yup, potentially. But still, its breach of contract. It wouldnt have prevented the crash, I'm sure, but thats not the point. Anyway, different thread for this I think, don't wanna clog up this chaps F/s thread.

It's not like putting a 1.6 engine into a 1.3 escort, this is 4cyl to 6 cyl, I would think nearly all traffic coppers can count the spark plug leads! Surely this could be impounded if caught??? Correct me if I'm wrong but the DVLA is a government organisation & they don't like being bullshitted. Sure it's a case of "what are the chances" but that car, with a young looking driver (or even someone in his 30's who wears a baseball cap, like myself) has got "pull me" written all over it. Change the v5 & the conversion is complete, simple. BTW, have the brakes & suspension been up-graded at all? (that's an honest enquiry, not another dig)

Erm I may be new here, but aren't there guidelines to these ads? And some punctuation wouldn't go amiss either! Mileage? Age? Brakes, steering or suspension mods?

I know of a barrister who defended someone in such a case - the car had coilovers and different wheels. He lost. The insurance company successfully took the house, cars and every penny the guy had and then bankrupted him. Though all this still didn't actually cover the total cost of the claim.
It happens.
But as others say - the logbook's got nothing to do with it, so long as you tell the insurer.
