not really bud, there is the back box and the air filter thats it....iv got 9 years protected no claims....iv had 2 ins claims since 2008 but they were both deemed not my fault, they said it could be the area i live thats causing it......

iv took the ins at £35 per month so just gona swap the air filter back to normal and do the same on the back box

i take it that you had an induction kit fitted then. an aftermarket panel filter i wouldnt really say was a modification.

it was only a cone filter bolted onto the pipe just past the air flow meter sensor ally, not what u would call an induction kit......but am thinking that because am putting the original filter box back in then i will put a k&n filter inside it...........surely i wont need to tell the that?

well mine was modified..lowered, aftermarket wheels, bonnet extension, cold air feed etc...didn't declare any...and when I wrote it off nothing was mentioned and full payout given..in fact I bought it back and modified it some more for good luck!...can't recommend that though!

Maybe it was the end of a quiet month and they needed a profit boost.....

I'm with sky and it was about £360 F/C all mods declared.... but majority of my mods are not visibly external to thieving scumbags :wink:

But then again I am 35yrs old with 9 yrs NCD :roll:
I used to own this Calibra...
