Surely if you answer their questions there's no problem.

2. Any modifications (I would assume that to mean performance mods) No
3. Purchase Price = £22500 (Now this is where you have been honest, that price is not a MCS+Chilli is it? They know that too, so why not question it? Unless they either accept that you have optional extras or they want to stitch you up if you ever claim .

I will check with my insurance co - ESURE.

Let's say you have the Aero kit on your MINI. Are you saying you wouldn't specify it because it isn't a performance mod? So, when someone runs into the back of you and they decide to replace your 'original' bumper with another original standard bumper you wouldn't have a problem with it?

The insurance company only has to replace what it knows about, and only if its T&Cs don't specify a mod-for-standard replacement policy. Remember, they will try to get out of covering you if they can find a legitimate excuse not to. Don't give them the excuse - be honest and then you don't have anything to worry about.
