ic ap valued mine the other day, and it came out at ?150, to thats all id get paid out. imo even the best mintiest nova is worth around ?1500 tops, so i think ?2k is abit too much, be expected alot lot less. things like respray to them, one off bonnets etc will make your insurance go up.

You think the insurance company will listen to a bunch of owners on a web forum? lol

When they say prove its value, they mean provide receipts of the parts you've had fitted, and provide evidence of cars of a similar spec that have sold (important: SOLD, not advertised) for the same value.

Bear in mind, if you spent ?1000 on a respray (for example), that doesn't automatically add ?1000 onto the value of the car.

Oh... and what engine is it? At the end of the day, thats one of the most important factors.
