Will get the car back next weekend.
Exactly, numbers are boring. It's got every part fitted that's best suited for road use. I've done my best in terms of spec so it will be what it will be.
Told my insurance yesterday about the changes and it only went up by £55 for the remaining 7 months of the policy. That's with Adrian Flux. It does make me worry when the person on the phone doesn't know what an ECU is though.

Couldn't justify spending thousands of £'s if it was in average X reg condition!

Do you have an agreed value on the car?

That's what I want to sort with them. I asked them what 'like for like' means on modifications and the response was a bit vague when I asked if the car was completely destroyed would I get back the value of the parts paid.
These insurance companies want everything declaring in writing by me to cover their backs but when I want clarification of something they can't give it
The base car can be replaced with another as there is no shortage of 206 GTi's around but the parts aren't available 2nd hand. Realistically it would cost £10k to build another of the same spec and there's no point in having fully comp insurance with everything declared if it came to the crunch and I couldn't build an identical car.

Its quite an issue in getting things declared. Endsleigh had a fit over fitting a towbar - they weren't sure whether they could insure me! I've read over a few forums now that some people are having there insurance cover void because they are fitting winter wheels! A friend of mine rang up his insurance and the woman didn't know what a steel wheel was!

 is it to add to the sleeper look? Just thought you would have got it tidyed up considering how well looked after the rest of the car is.
