never heard of them but looks like they do some tasty work there.  Supercharged Mk5 R32 anyone? http://www.turner-race-developments.co.uk/project_of_the_month.htm

seems the maps they use are either Viezu or bluefin.  which one did you get tara?

I then wouldn't worry.But as a recent thread about declaring modifications as been posted.

I personally would declare your remap, but the wheels, I doubt your insurance company would be interested, unless you

stated you had 17's installed when you purchased. :stupid:

Tell your insurer about your change of wheels, Tara! Steve is wrong on this occasion about them not being fussed. They will most probably not charge you any more but it should be listed on the documentation.

Even my aftermarket SatNav is declared and therefore would be replaced like-for-like.

My car is 'registered' for all its wheel variations at no extra costs.

^^ Unless Tara stated she had 17 inch wheels when she brought the car 2nd hand, then of course, mentioning now on a public forum, it's yes best now that she tells them. Agree'd.

If on the other hand nowt was said, then it's very difficult to proof who and when these alloys could possibly of been changed. :smiley:
