Default Interesting insurance scenario

A man of nearly 70 breaks his front bumper, he duly contacts his insurers as he is fully comp, assessor comes out, then informs him that is doesn't have the original wheels on the car, and that he would inform the insurers.
Insurers ring and refuse the claim, and also load £60 a year for non std wheels.
Just serves as a warning that these things do happen, this is all 100% accurate, as it was my dad it happened to.
Of course he's now shopping around insurers, and yes entirely his fault it happened, just might make some think twice about undeclared mods, would hate to see someones pride and joy get bashed and not paid for.
