it's say's on the advert that the log book is still registered as 1.4 cheap insurance. if it was in fast ford i doubt it's bodged u could pm 1 of them on here and ask their opinion of it.

why do people still quote that old wives tale about cheap insurance, the minute you tried to make a claim without any of the mods declared it would be thrown out. Hardly cheap insurance if the car gets wiped out or stolen and you dont get a penny back.

not sure why its shocking? Lots of cars look nice superficially and you'd never know they were bodged without stripping them down

Not always the case. I know of someone who had Audi leather in his VW and GTi wheels, and engine mods' and sideskirts and it went in to be fixed. The only thing that happened was the garage phoned him up and said they wouldn't replace the wheel because it wasn't declared, but the claim still went through fine.


Although I don't think I'd have the front to go round in that declared as a 1.4 though.
