Jamie did. Guy who supercharged his car then couldn't afford the insurance, so insured it as standard and the insurance company read his project thread on here and void his insurance.
Next minute, he deleted the project thread.

yeah i think you would have to really be into your car to waste money like that, to me it would be a waste but to other people they probably wouldnt think twice, for the title "fastest 206" on the road just to show off, with that money i personally would buy a nice honda s2000 fking love them cars

Insurance companies use forums to advertise, offering discounts of you quote the forum.
1. Easiest way to advertise.
2. Easiest way to check if people are still within their policy. Don't forget that they won't refund a cancelled policy.
Lee - that the Jamie from Brum? Blue 180?

:-/ says who? |
Could you afford it?
Would you buy it?
I've certianly got the cash, but since I've just bought a house, I can think of a few more things I'd rather spend afew k on, such as a new/faster car lol or as the mrs calls it, a new kitchen lol |
Personally, no, I couldn't afford it.
Would I buy it? No. Because there are better options. 
I can think of at least 4 members who have spent that sort of money on performance and a lot more who have spent that on aesthetical mods.

Blank plate or not, most of the cars on here stand out from standard 206's, isn't that why we put money into our cars? Legal or not, they still attract the attention of the boys in blue, just ask Razpulsedj

Some of us aren't cash strapped first car owners running cars on a tight budget.
After my experience with Ecosse I wouldn't spend another penny with them. Chances are the price they quote will have increased when you pick the car up.

If we're not all cash strapped, why are most of us driving 206's? (with the exception of the Jag, SEAT and VXR)

I remember you telling me about that. Most people don't realise how serious it is, or indeed that it is actual fraud.
