Hi all. I have finally notified my insurance company about spoiler.. no extra cost

Asked about how much extra it would cost for putting lexus mk2 alloys on my mk1 that was an extra £76.. when I asked on what the extra would be for a induction kit.. she told me total for both was £146.00 what do you think does this sound o.k ?

Hi jac

When I was looking for my GS300 I really wanted a sport model but could not find one at a sensible price.
I really wanted a GS300 sport so decided to gaet a standard model and upgrade to sport.
I too checked with my insurer who to my suprise said that the mods would not affect my insurance as long as I used similar parts to those on the sport model and did not substantially improve the cars performance by upping the bhp.
I have since fitted standard 18" TTE 9 spoke sport wheels, a sport rear spoiler and 25mm lowering springs.
All I need now is a mesh grille at £450+ from Lexus that will take a while yet!
I would say that the effect of fitting an induction kit will have only a negligible performance increase that's if you actually recognise the difference it makes. It will however have a audible roar that will be most satisfying and worth every penny. I would be disinclined to advise my insurer, but then my conscience will always get the better of me and I would probably declare it.
It is a mod that is on my wish list also.

Just my opinion.

tell them everything boys & girls !
you'll regret it if you don't

one day some dirty little scoundrel may just attack your pride and joy and TRUST me the insurance company will look for a way out

we know its highway robbery but don't give them the sattisfaction ofcanceling your policy when you most need it

I Modified my GS 430 with , Hiper exhausts, lowered it 30mm, fitted 18 TTE sport Wheels, Sport grill, Sport rear spolier.

Told the insurance company abouy everything

You must tell them everything or you risk loosing any claim your fault or not.
