Does that mean everyone who has 18 Monzas needs to tell their insurance company as that's a factory option and not standard?

Correct.

My insurance company asked me for the value of the car. As with most people this would include any optional extras and be what the list price was. Surely this would remove the need to read off a list of optional extras?

Hardly, how are they to know the dealer just didn't see you coming?

Non standard items must be declared, but directline were only interested in the 18" wheels and the RCD510.

I now stick with insurance companies that have uk call centres like directline even if they are more.  I tried to phone one and had to spell my name 5 times to the non uk call centre operative lets call him Dork.  Goes a bit like this:

Dork: Hello, how may I help you?
me: I would like a quote for car insurance please.
Dork: ok well then, i would like some details please.
me: ok
Dork: What ist your name?
me: Alastair
Dork: How do you spell that?
me: A   L    A   S  T  A  I  R
Dork: Can you spell that again.
me: A L ....
Dork: Can you spell that again.
me: brr.... telephone receiver placed down.
