Guys can you help.... ?
I am insured with Direct Line
37yr old with 6yrs protected NCB - Premium = £854
I now told them I changed the wheels and they want an additional £250 per year !
Doesn't matter what the wheels are - or their value - it's a modification from OEM factory spec and so they load premium.
This seems ludicrous to me.. I explained the wheels had roughly the same replacement value to my OEM cross bolted wheels and that in fact the Alpinas were MORE secure due to th elocking centre cap. Would they listen .. would they f**k.
Anyone with any cheaper policies out there that don't behave like idiots the first time someone changes something.
What happenmed when you guys with upgraded wheels told your insurers ? Or didn't you bother ?
Cheers,
Ian.
