Okay cjp0349, so say I were to get spokes*, what then? tell my insurance company they've been on since purchase when they have records stating otherwise and be done for fraud? - I don't think so! - didn't think of that did you? I already shop around on comparison sites for insurance quotes, even have me a nice collection of merekat toys. Everything may well have alloys as standard, my boy isn't nor will ever be one of them, so this is what you can do with your spokes guys -> (*and there has only ever been one set of spokes that I've actually liked, they were on Crossle's car (now sold), but they certainly wouldn't suit my boy! ) Last edited by leggy; 16-03-16 at 01:09 PM. |

I've got 3 steels wheels you can have, I can even put them in my de-rusting solution so they wouldn't need much more work before spraying.

Thanks shaun5
As per my reply to esseff: "Have a few things going on atm, and wasn't planning on getting them done for a few months yet, most likely June when it's next in for some panel repair/respray work, also need to get some quotes in - so can I get back to you on that one please?"

When it came to the accessories section on renewing through Go Compare, I ticked alloy wheels and in the details box simply put 'dealer optional extra'. If that's fraud well slap the handcuffs on me now and I'll go directly to jail without passing go and without collecting my £200 cashback Just out of interest how much of a difference do the alloys make to your quotes? |

No, I'm certainly not one for rule bending cjp0349
In so far as stating 'dealer optional extra' - do you really think that an underwriter wouldn't question my doing that when I own a 24yr old car which has had, I think, 3 previous owners? I have no idea how much difference alloys would make to my quotes, because like I keep telling you - this is what you can do with your spokes -> Handcuffs? - now there's a thought!

Anyway, 'keep it standard' leggy says a big N-O to alloy wheels!! The term underwriter always makes me think of a dingy smoke filled office in the city, full of little men in shabby suits who have sat at the same desk full of paperwork for years. All beavering away on those old fashioned adding machines a la Cat Stevens song 'Matthew and Son'. But enough of my fantasies Last edited by cjp0349; 16-03-16 at 04:21 PM. |

Finally! and as someone you might () know would say:
"By cjp0349, he's got it! By cjp0349 he's got it!" (I'd best put the handcuffs away now then! ) Funny, the term underwriter always makes me think of blokes in suits with £-signs rolling in their eye sockets at any excuse to get more money out of their policy holders.
