Yeah, great plan, right up until the moment you wind up in one of those accidents where you leave in an ambulance... And then you'll get done for driving without insurance.

Meanwhile, the rest of us all go back to paying through the nose for insurance to cover the costs of those who can't be bothered to pay to keep their car on the road legally.

silvatek are a good brand i think, ebay like £12 I just bought some cheap £4 ones.

You need 581 bulbs and they're really easy to fit, open your bonnet, undo the two torque screws on top of your head light and pull the headlight out (takes a bit of oomph but it wont break) then just remove the water cover and unscrew and swap :)

Exactly is it any wonder it costs so much to declare modifications. Also depends on the insurance company how much it costs so modify. I'm 19 insured with elephant and cost me £100 to declare lowering.
Also if you can afford to void ur warranty and pay to repair you car should it need it the you should be able to afford to declare modifications

insurance company's are a f*****g rip to start off with, ad rather not declare my mods and say over £1000 a year and take the risk of crashing, i got more chance of being in a plane crash then having a major crash, ill cross that bridge when it comes to it, and if i have a crash where am in a ambulance i think the last thing on my mind will be my insurance, if i can get away with it then do it, if i could get away without paying tax i would, just like jimmy carr

anyway this thread is meant to be about cheap mods, not ppl lecturing me on how i run my life, had it all before ano all this crap, an i desired to do it my way

anyway mate, have a look at the list i gave you at the start, they all pretty cheap and easy mods can be done, just depends what ya want ya self
