When were Snowflakes released??

[SIIM]

Does anyone know when they were released? Iv upgraded to the Snowflakes and im trying to tell my insurance. I have two options:-

1. Declare as optional extra
2. Non-standard

Theres a big price difference between the two. Iv got an 03 2.2 SRi, could the Snowflakes have been an optional extra when new? or am i going to have to declare them as a non-standard set?

Think MLC had them fitted from the factory on his sri. 54 plate I think.

As they are an optional extra from Vx why shouldn't you declare them as such. They cannot be non-standard as they are a genuine Vx part

I think they were available from 2004.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about dates, just tell them they are geniune Vx optional parts.
What difference does it make weather they were factory fitted or fitted 6/12 months later ???
This risk is still the same !!!

Jeeeeeez.......who the hell are you insured with ALL my mods on the vec (R.I.P) including "non-standard wheels" were declared and it only added about £40

[SIIM]

Zurich they were the cheapest by far but dont think they are keen on mods. If i declare them as optional extra is another £20 if i declare them as non standard they want £120 .

Ridiculous i know, i will be having a good shop around this year, especially as i have a few more mods planned. Any recomendations? Was it Flux that you use Caterman, seem to remember them being mentioned when you had your crash.

[Caterman]

Yes m8, AF were the cheapest for me. There are a couple of specialist insurers if you have mods. I'd certainly shop around for a better deal m8.

AF here as well by the way, and they don't seem to bothered at all that most of the Irsmcher catalogue is bolted to my motor, lol.
