S/c - Insurance

[Drummerboy]

My insurance is due for renewal at the end of the month :duh:

Rang the insurance company to see what the additional premium would be for a supercharged IS200 as opposed to my standard one.

Additional €351 per annum which is an increase of 42% on my current policy ............... BUT

They want written confirmation from Lexus that the modificationn has been either carried out by them or is approved by them

I haven't been in touch with Lexus Ireland but I know what their answer to this request will be

Any of you s/c boys have any similar problems with insurance companies?

When I get the bucks intend fitting the s/c myself with a little help but I certainly won't be giving it to Lexus to fit and I sincerely doubt they will "approve" something they haven't done themselves

Cheers Zee...........

Was beginning to think the whole lot was WAYYYY beyond my budget.....

Don't fancy the new back box cos I don't fancy big noise, just want the damn thing to go where I puts me foot down............. too many Intergas and Civic leaving me for dead
