What are you looking for? Performance parts for what type of car?
Presume it's a Golf going by your username.

I've never heard of anywhere here offering finance. It's available in the UK alright but I doubt you would be approved living here.

Any performance mods will need to be declared to the insurance company. Something as simple as upgrading the air filter can add a couple of hundred to your insurance, so think twice before pimping your ride.

There was a recent thread on here about a guy having his modded bmw taken off him. You might consider reading the thread.

financing car modifications is a bad idea.

There are loads of second hand upgrade bits floating around for mk4s now, they've got to the age where some are getting scrapped.

Best of luck getting a pay out if you are involved in anything would be my only advice there. I've first hand seen an assessor crack open a car and inspect the bay for uprated parts. You can get some lee-way if they are signed off by the manufacturer e.g. VXR / OPC parts from Vauxhall but anything third party, not a hope.

Any reason you want to finance modifications? If you were going that route you'd be better off going to a tuning company and getting the car brought up a few stages. Credit Union loan would be the lowest interest rate possible and would be a better idea than straight finance. Downside is you won't see any of the money you put into it unless its a very good chassis to begin with or a rare / exotic build. If cars are a money pit, financing modification would be a quarry.

So, you're happy driving around with void insurance? Do you know the lad in the thread below? If not, you'll get on real well.
