Hi guys,

 

I’ve picked up a Mercedes A Class saloon from Motability this week.

I was thinking of adding a pair of fins/canards on the rear bumper,  like the A45s AMG has.

Since they are simply stick on and held by 3m tape and can be removed before handing the car back, I called motability to see if they would be ok with me doing this.

They basically turned around and said no, even though RSA said that they wouldn’t mind as it’s not a permanent adaptation or engine mod as such.

I really think it would look nice on the car and I just can’t understand why they would say no to what is essentially 2x plastic trims held on by 3m tape.

Do you think I can raise this further with them?

Thanks

Simply they own the car and we do not own it, we lease it, So it is not our’s to modify as per there terms and conditions of the lease, Even if it is stick on will that not cause the original paint to get damaged where it contacts with it..or could do. The won’t let wired dash cams either to be fitted. one would have to be one plugged into the 12v socket or a usb for power.

Thats Mb policy as per the terms of the lease. Anything on the car should come the day we drive it away..

Just the way it is and i doubt there any point asking again. One could just put them on but if they do findout then maybe you broke the terms of the scheme and will be removed from the scheme.

I even seen vids on youtube that people did mods and had a car on finance and was told either pay of the outstanding amount or they will take the car back. As they still own it. Which it is there asset at the end of the day and it is a blanket ban as then the policy is clear to all..
