Hehe, I read AlanD's reply as "Buggary" :s
It was theft from an employer. Seriously, don't get caught ;) It will roughly halve the number of places that will give you insurance. Motoring conviction or not. I am paying about £150 over the best offer I could get without the conviction. I didn't get any prison time, but was 200 hours community service and some other bits. Best bit was, I had a job within a few weeks from a competitor company :D

I even had some guy having a go at me from one insurance company :D "What did you do that for?" etc. None of his bloody business tho. Meant that I couldn't get the 1 day free insurance from them to get the car home, so had to faff around with my existing company to get the 1 day cover added to my normal cover for my old car.

It is a 2.0 Gti Mk3 btw.

It is a material fact that you MUST tell your insurer about. If you don't and they find out, then your policy is void. Try and get insurance after having it cancelled by a company for non-disclosure and see how difficult it is. There will be virtually no-one who will want your business. And amongst those that will you can bet none of them will do mods. So declare until you don't need to. You are likely to find that it shouldn't affect your actual premium, although installments may be difficult to get and you might have a slightly higher excess (although goodness knows why!)  :smiley:

@Horney: One of the stores in the company I work for has just had 2 members of staff (including a manager) fired for taking loo roll for their flat! Don't think any charges were made tho.

@MrBounce: Had no problem with installments. Not seen how much difference it makes to the excess tho (the mods did that).
