    Changing colour on V5C registration certificate

    It was a special edition of the polo, called harlequin, think it was classed as "various" as a colour on the V5 (but not sure)

    Changing colour on V5C registration certificate

    Not a problem to have more than one colour on a car. Years ago I had a mk2 escort in 2 colours (deliberately) was on log book as both. Try explaining this one to DVLA :)

    Hub centric wheel spacer problem

    I too have 265's but on freestyle alloys, the steering lock on mine is appalling, tyres rub on the radius arms. Fortunately my chassis is Donald ducked so I will be doing something to address this issue during the rebuild. Do steel modulars have a better offset or would it make much difference...

    Van Sides/Windows/Seats and Insurance!

    I've got my insurance with nfu, no problems. They told me that as it doesn't improve performance it's not classed as a mod. But have put a footnote on my policy stating extra seating.
