Car chipped?

im in the process of doing a few mods to my car, the next on my list was to get it chipped. the one im looking at can be turned on and off so was told at my own risk not to inform insurance company as it would be very difficult to be found if involved in any incedent, to risky or worth it?

Answers:
Depending on what the other mods you've done are it might not matter too much if you do tell your insurers or not.

I had a chipped Renault 19 16v and had similar concerns to you. When I bought the chip I bought a spare ecu (£40 from scrap yard) and fitted it to that, and then in turn to the car. My original ecu was kept in bubble wrap under my seat just incase I needed it in a hurry.

I'm now old enough thats any number of mods seem to make little difference to my premium.
its to risky when i had a bump(not my fault of course)checked my car over for for an hour for any mods that haven't been declared,i would tell them
If your car is stock and you are a mature driver, there is less chance of the inspector going over the car with a finr tooth combe.

However if your 19 year old prangs his heavily modified and styled citroen saxo, the insurance inspector will be all over it like a rash so that they can find something that he has not declared and then void his insurance.
tell the insurance company i did and it made little differance to the cost
