can you save the quote and phone them up and see if they will honour it after a full description of car?

theres no such thing as pretty much standard, if it didnt come out the factory with those wheels then its a mod.

A little hijack here but some people like myself might like a bit more clarification if possible.
Out of interest (not that this affects my insurance in anyway) but if the BBS were a factory standard on another MK1 like the Sportline (I have the wheels now on mine).
Now my Cabrio is a August 1990 build but the Engine is down tuned to 98bhp and still be sold long after the start of production of the Sportline. Cosmetically different but the running gear pretty much the same.
Would that make my car classified as a 'Modified Car'?

"Your car must be in its original state and should not have been modified from the manufacturer's specification. Your car insurance company deals with the risk associated with your insured vehicle which it assesses with reference to the exact make, model and trim, then calculates an insurance premium based upon this (and other) factors. If your car has undergone changes the information they used as the basis of their assessment is inaccurate. If for instance the engine specification has been enhanced to increase the acceleration or top speed, your car could present a higher insurance risk, or if the bodywork has been amended, it may cost more to repair if making a claim. If your vehicle has been modified you need to consult your car insurance company with the exact modification to ensure they will accept the altered risk or find a specialist insurer."

So for example it was possible to order a standard GTI with all the campaign options. If your 1983 GTI had the leather wheel, p-slots, green glass, front fogs, sunroof etc I would not declare them. But if you added that lot to a 1978 car then I would declare them.
Jazman, in your case I am pretty sure that the "clipper kit" was never an option and that BBS RA's were only fitted to the Sportline model and were never an option. So you must declare them to be fully insured - I know many folks would not bother though …

The only mods you can get away with in my opinion are factory supplied options that were available and could of been applied to your car at the time.

That's my take on it Ade, if it was a 'Factory Option' for your model and at the time your car was in production.
This spring I will fit a pair of Hella smoked rear lights to mine.
But even though they are from Hella I will still have to get them approved and have it added to the documentation of the car as they were not a 'Factory Option!
