Car Modifications and Your Insurance

Hi all. Found an excellent article that I am sure many will relate to. Hope you get something useful out of this…

Let’s dive in and have a look at the modification-related things you need to know.

Important non-insurance considerations prior to making modifications

First and foremost, before you add to or change anything on your car, you need to be certain that what you plan to do is actually legal. All vehicles being driven on the roads need to be what is termed “street-legal” — and there is every chance that your intended modifications may impact your vehicle’s street-legal status.

As a result, always notify your relevant licensing authority before making any modifications to your car.

What happens if my modifications are illegal?

If your modifications aren’t legal, typically a few of the following things will happen, all of which are pretty massive bummers:

• You’ll face a significant fine.
• Your vehicle will be de-registered.
• Your vehicle will be impounded.
• You’ll receive a defect notice.
