they hike the insurance as they see it more of a risk of being stolen. But think about it, whats gona be noticed more, a fully kitted out corsa being driven like a nob by some twocer, or a shitty old orion instead?? I agree with you yoyo, i dont see the point either if its only gona get put back to standard!

what about geting the insurance to settle the cost with the bodyshop to restore it to standard, but pay a little more for the kit you need, surely it would be easier that way?
ie (rough)
Insurance Repair Costs (Standard Bodywork Fittings) - £500
Kit you Want - £650
Total payable by you - £150 + any extra needed for fitting as its going to need spraying unlike the standard black turds which the insurance might just quote you for

Why not just buy a old piece of crap... like a really old, unmodified 1.2 LS then chuck a 2ltr in and go with liverpool victoria on 1.2 LS with engine mods???
Pointless trying to get a 1.2 16v SXi for 3.5k->4k and then doing an engine conversion in a while anyway...

Has anyone had to claim off liverpool victoria yet...as surely they wont insure a supposedly 1.0 with a 2.0 engine in? I mean when they state engine mods surely this only means stuff like K+N etc...theres a big difference in peformance from a 1.0 50?? BHP and a 2.0 150+ BHP...just a thought wouldnt want someone pranging there pride and joy then liverpool victoria not paying out??
