Might be his fault but technicly your insurance is void because the kit isnt declared
This is correct. as far as they are concerned, it is not the car on the policy!

u cant claim unless u have insurance urself bcos u report it to ur own insurance company whether ur fault or not then they go to the other company if different, but its ur insurance company who initially pay out for damage or if they write it off then they claim of the other insurance company.
im shocked how little u all know bout insurance u need to be clued up with insurance esp where mods r concerned

was gona sort it all out w.out insurance and went through to see the guy 2nite but he had brought someone from a Jaguar garage to inspect my car. the guy had a look then got on his fone and asked for a VLC check or something to that effect and then gave the other person on the fone my reg number, he came off the fone and said he foned his dad and he is a police inspector and that he just found out my bodykit aint declared which it aint, now he reckons i might not get a penny out them b'cos of this, but i never admitted it wasnt on the insurance jus said im gona claim through ur insurance then....
but the guy accepted liability when he hit me!
Where do i stand with this?
HELP PLEASE
I have to ask how anyone found out your GSi bumper is not declared unless you told him. he cannot access that information with a warrent. it's against the data protection act

^^^ id have thought he is right with that his dad cant just find stuff out like that all he can find out as a copper is details of whether ur insured or not not fine details of ur insurance its the datat protection act as vibs said..
what i reckon is doing is trying to bluff u mate into scaring u away from making a claim

If this is true, this chap will not be a police inspector for much longer. Acquisition of this information is a MAJOR breach of police power, not to mention completely illegal anyway under various laws applicable to personal data.
Whose fault was the accident?

yeah, i agree. He shouldn't have access to that information, if he did then he's breaking the law big time. I think he's calling your bluff, so its time you called his. Either that or go and chin him

Dont ring him at all just ring your insurance company! If they mention your kit just apologize say you didnt realise you had to mewntion it you got it like that new it wasnt std but didnt think it mattered. End of the day the other drivers ins is paying so you should get away with it.

i cant believe this lad, the decent thing is to admit liablility if your wrong especially if its clear! But to go a tell daddy, jus to make you look stupid is just plain taking the piss! Either way he should come up with the cash to repair your car, and as Ian sed about breach of the police i cant see him getting away with it......this guy = twat

Both parties need to be insured. IF the company are taking a stance that they won't pay as you technically have voided your insurance because of an undeclared bumper, then unfortunatley they are correct.
