    5 grand? ouch its a good lot

    think you have to have the rear seats removed and only allow room for 1passenger or something along those lines, remember my cousin converted a golf to a van, took the 2 back seats out and got it insured as a commercial, could only bring the one passenger though

    i'm not sure to be honest, i doubt it, i'd say modification refers to the engine mainly or other performance type parts, i remember he was with quinn, i think your best bet is to ask the insurance company but i know it can be done

    That is crazy mate, 5 grand is more than the car is worth. Can i ask what the quote was for a 1 litre car?
