Int got mine yet either, I'm puttin it down to the nasty weather :(

 

What courier brings them?

 

Well I rang them and you're right they're blaming the weather, give James at Deutsch Performance a ring if you haven't received them by 1pm tomorrow. He also said I could pick them up at my local depot of the courier firm but I didn't fancy taking my C out in the snow! Not sure which courier firm it is, maybe someone who has received their lights could tell us?

I'm just going to keep quiet - as far as the theiving insurance companies are concerned it's standard :lol: Plus I wouldn't have thought it'd make a difference as it doesn't effect performance (although I'm hoping for at least an extra 10 horses LOL)...

Hypothetically speaking though, would they refuse a payout on the grounds of not declaring it? I think - until I am corrected - that it can be much more than an additional £30 or so?

When I told my insurance company about my lowered suspension kit they said although it doesn't make the car any faster the appearance of a lower more sporty looking car could make it more attractive to thiefs. I guess this could be said for our rear lights after all the car could be stolen for the lights alone.

 

In saying this the insurance premium didn't go up but the excess did.

 

The courier is Interlink Express.

I guess the best thing to do is be up front with the insurers after all if they ever decide not to pay out then it's only us that lose out... :?

 

What, no pics of anyones rear end yet? Come on guys - I've got to wait another day :(

 

Hope everyone that was expecting theirs yesterday get em today?

Getting mine tomorrow, rang yesterday, but was too late to get dispatched then, so they are arriving friday :D

 

Insurance company don't need to know, and if they ask say it was like that when you bought the car, and never even gave it a thought that it wasn't standard.

 

obviously that wouldn't work with suspension etc, but rear lights aren't a major facture really.

 

 

[EDIT]unless someone rear ends you, but if they pass an MOT then they have no excuse, best thing might be to pop down to an MOT centre and ask them the quick question[/EDIT]

I got mine at lunch time today.

 

My insurer's (Norwich Union) said it was ok and that there's no additional premium or higher excess provided they're legal. I'm going to get it in writing from them anyway just to be on the safe side because on my policy schedule it says 'none' next to modifications.

Hmm they're supposed to be only half smoked, so the tint isn't very dark. Plus the pics are rubbish will put some decent ones up after I wash the car.
