thats what you get for undeclare modifications... if you declare you get better payout, but the downside you might need to pay more for your premium
Thats correct, so all owners out there make sure you add your mods to your insurance policy or increase ur agreed value!Quote:

If they are nice, they will let you exchange your parts for your stock parts, in the end i got my rims back, intake and strut bar lol
sorry for loss man, any hope salvaging parts?
ouch bro
they offered me $7k if i wanted to buy the salvage. all parts on the car are staying.
on another thought, if i were to sell the car and all those mods, $29,500 would be a top price don't you think?
it's a dec 2006 Euro Luxury Auto, 40km on the clock, serviced every 5000km, last serviced last week at Top One, blah blah blah.... :)
when i enquired CU2 and GTI last month, the dealers offered me $20k trade in.
so, lesson 1: ensure your insurance policy is up to date. agreed value is better. if i was on market value it would be $24k payout.
lol. Dude, I saw you on the freeway I think on that day I was heading towards Blue Bay ? Me: Silver Euro, You were in the Far right and I was in the far left. I know it was you because I remember thinking to myself if you were trying to race me or not :P
Btw man, Sorry for your loss. It looked mean as when i was next to it.
Haha.. yeah it was me. but i was on stock rims on that day. i swooped them to Enkei on friday night and sunday afternoon, gooonee....Quote:

I declared all my mods but my insurance didn't go up? I'm not sure if it did but I know the agreed value didn't go up? Damn AAMI so sneaky! I'm gonna have to drop by during lunch tomorrow to find out!Quote:

included in the repair quote were $1699 buddyclub (F/L & R/R may be damaged), $550 injen (the lower pipe is dented), $720 one PF01 wheel (the tyre came off and severly damaged it), $260x2 repair for the other 2 wheels (tried to avoid the truck but i kerbed onto the island on the right hand side instead), $1100 for 3 x conti sports contact 2 (don't know why they included extra two).
the case manager advised me that these things actually made them to decide a write off instead of repair.
