insuring Turinis, advice needed

[Italian_Job]

Im gonna probably get trophy Turins fitted on my cupped 182 in the near future.
Wheels and tyres size wont change plus its a renault optional for Clios..........
do I need to notify my Insurance company about it?

 

[Aluco]

Just ring and say you changed the wheels to a different Renault wheel

 

[Italian_Job]

yeah i will,
i guess they are more fussed about aftermarket bits.

They're not. They were standard on the 172 Cup and Trophy. They've never been an optional extra.

Do as Aluco says. But you need to declare them.

true, I talked s**t.
I will give em a ring.
Thanks guys.

The chances of an assessor ever appearing and knowing that turinis weren't standard when they have a Renault diamond on them is slim. But you never know. He might be into his Clio's or something.

It's not really worth the risk.

You're right mate
The girl from Elephant said it doesnt matter if manufactured or not as long as they have same size,
In this case the change is cosmetic and costs much less then fitting wheels with different specs.

 

[Aluco]

Was free for me

I stand corrected
wheels are free (same size, same make) if declared with a bunch of other mods, otherwise I should have paid for it. how weird is that?
