Yeah, plenty of people on here seem to rate them so will be trying them. Still got just over a month left of Admiral for now though...well theoretically anyway...was supposed to have both the 306 and Vec insured next week and they haven't even managed to get that right!

Basically have some major plans for the next few months and need the cash from the Vectra to fund them, hence getting a cheap 306 for the time being.
As for the Vectra, I think it's worth more whole than in parts, it's a high spec facelift model with a years MOT and full service history so hopefully should be worth a decent amount.

Not sure how true it is but a mate told me a couple of years ago that ANPR in police cars does show if the car's modded or not...though it doesn't go into detail about specific mods. So as long as you've declared something on a slightly modded car you'll probably get away with it, and they wont bother checking any further.
That said, a guy I know from a local VW forum was stopped and hadn't declared anything He had a highly modded Corsa with a 2.0 8v, slammed on coilovers, big wheels etc... His car was seized there and then. It was later crushed... So not worth the risk imo!!
