Tom's TDCi Titanium X...

[1616six]

Why?  It should've been there from the factory anyway and could've easily been fitted before I bought it.  I can't imagine anyone declares changing one standard factory fit part for another...   I also don't know what was an optional extra to start with, I didn't buy the car new and don't have the original receipt.  One example is the tints, I thought all Titaniums had tints but I've parked next to one or two that didn't...so has mine been specced up to include them, or have the others been specced down to remove them?  Who knows...

End of the day, its a standard car, I haven't added any power mods because the insurance companies are greedy bastards and I haven't added any visual mods because I don't want to...  Fair enough if I had a set of Wolfrace chrome 17s and a massive IC hanging out of the bumper, but its a factory optional cruise wheel ffs.

Optional factory extras are different to fitting OEM extras once the car has left the factory.

I'm just telling you the facts  It's up to you what you do but technically you should declare any modifications fitted after the vehicle leaves the factory. If you use a specialist insurer you won't be charged extra for cosmetic modifications, in fact they can be cheaper than standard insurance policies.

Nah, its a cylinder not a panel on these, but I won't bother with a performance one, didn't make a difference on the 180bhp Golf so I doubt it would on the 110bhp Focus lol, plus I'm keeping it totally stock for the cheapest possible insurance.  

I have the '6 for noise anyway....tempted by a Pipercross cone for it...don't think I'd hear it over the exhaust though haha.

So you've not declared your cruise control and different steering wheel?

OEM extra, like fitting ford focus alloy wheels, from steelies

Yup, needs declaring!
