I do. My girlfriends 1.4 16v Fiesta I was driving - pretty nippy for standard.
My wiper arrived today  looks good and works! which reminds me, I need to leave feedback.

We'll i have drove my mate 1.3 Fiesta and my other mates 1.3 Hyundi Accent, they were alot nippier than mine. Just not been on proper drives or anything with them.
Nice, glad you like it - I know what kind of feedback i'll be leaving for the grill.

My feedback wouldn't be too nifty for the grill either.
The 1.3 Fiesta is ok, but 8v - at least we have 12!

Oh, if you're looking for alloys, FlameRedCorsa has a set of 13" Softstars available for £50 - you tyres should go straight on!

Ah the fiesta is 8v. He wasn't sure what it is. The Accent is 12v as well.
13" softstars sound great, especially for that price, he hes a little far away from me. More than a 10hr return journey.
Why don't you get them ?

Yeah, the 1.3 Endura engines are 8v, 1.26, 1.4 and 1.6 are 16v!
I would, and I'm really tempted and just keep them in storage as it will put my insurance up. Then when my insurance is next due, I'll have 1 years NCB hopefully and the alloys won't make too much difference to the premium BUT I might need new tyres then and could get some Corsa B SXi alloys or something, which I'd prefer.
meh, I'll think about it - he isn't actively selling them.

Yes, they are exactly the ones. Shame they are too far away
To be honest, I haven't enquired as to how much it'd rise by, but I think it'll be a lot 'cause it is Zurich and they aren't big on modified cars.
I'm still really tempted by the 13" Softstars available, so long as my tyres will fit. I will ring up my insurance company in the week!

The thing is, it's not only your risk, but the people you hit, if your insurance company declare your insurance void - they'll take the tiniest little thing to not pay out, they are there to make a profit after all.

Mines lowered with alloys, and insurance dont know.
If you have alloys, and need to make a claim, insurance will just charge you for not telling them about the wheels, they wont make your claim void (well, most of them wont anyway!)

Yea that is totally wrong, it's fraud. It's no different to what your doing though, just in a bigger scale. If i were you i would inform your insurance company about your alloys, it probably wont cost that much and will be better in the long run.

I don't actually see why non-performance mods should be declared, because really, its your loss if you don't insure them. Even having to declare a air filter, which is going to make no performance difference, is kinda ghey?

Yea your loss if you don't insure them, but if you don't declare them and you have an accident, your at risk that the insurance company wont pay out...
It's silly i know, becasue it's not as if they caused the crash or anything.
