But this mother actually wants answers cos I can't work it out

What happens to the towing hooks when a kit is fitted?

What happens when you have a puncture and you have alloys, ie what spare do you carry?

At what point do you tell insurance company about mods? At proposal stage or when they are done?

Anybody been bumped out of an insurance company because of mod alterations after insurance commenced?

And, do you, or do you not, increase your vehicle insurance value? Especially as they only pay bottom book out anyway? Our wheels are probably worth more than the car!





And finally, does anybody know the bottom book on a Corsa 1.4Sri L reg (94 year)



Thanks

it gets left on, unless it a screw in one then i dont know

it should be one with the same size tyre i think, but dont quote me on it

At what point do you tell insurance company about mods? At proposal stage or when they are done?
when mods have been carried out, technically straight away, because if u pull of ur drive and there not told it invalidates your insurence

Anybody been bumped out of an insurance company because of mod alterations after insurance commenced?
dunno

Carry the normal spare. If a front has gone (especially if you have big brakes which the spare won't fit over), swap it with the rear alloy, then put the spare on the back.

We're not all like that, some are totally the opposite, Rob said "spare " because he's stripped his car out completely
