As long as you inform your insurance i would imagine you will not fall foul of the law Very Happy

That's if they're still willing to insure you. The minute you mention A-Bar lots of them will run a mile and refuse to insure. All details/experiences I can find in below threads....

I was about to say that this one has been flogged to death.... but Mal has beat me yet again.

As above- see what the insurance company says at the first instance.

What rot!!! Misinformation I'm afraid! You'll only find out when and if you make a claim! Then the denials will ensue! Get it backed up either in writing or e-mail would be my advice before giving it a Mad Max makeover. Also ensure you register the extras with your insurers when you do fit or they'll most certainly not be reimbursed in the event of theft/damage.
