Thanks for the replies guys.
So if I understand you correctly Phil, your saying that you go ahead with the 1.3 conversion, re-register it with the DVLA on the original plate as a 1.3 super-s (or 1.3LX or something, I say super-s as practicaly all my mods so far have been super-s parts!) and declare this to your insurance company until the end of the policy.
Then once you apply for a new policy, the registration plate search will find it as a 1.3 super-s Micra and then you'll just be insuring it as a regular super-s?
As Sonic mentioned, does anyone know what the situation with SVA tests, etc would be with this? I'd have thought that surely if the new engine capacity and engine number was recorded with the DVLA it shouldn't be an issue as all the parts are coming from a Micra anyway?
I think what I'm confused about is at what point a series of modifications actually becomes another model of car and how you go about changing your model of car.
I've got absolutely no problem paying an extra £50 or £60 a year and have all my modifications covered by re-registering it as a 1.3 super-s, but I think its stupid having to pay several hundred pounds more for insurance just because I've modded my LX by adding some standard super-s parts.....
