i worried about insurance tho :'(

I wouldn't worry too much about insurance Holly, sure tell em. But I wouldn't think they'll charge mahoosive amounts for a different back box.

Well, I think it's a grey area really that. Though there were some minis factory fitted with alloys, if yours didn't have them when new then technically it is still a modification. Best thing is to phone the insurance to check.

Basically, you can get all sorts of 'special' wheels. The most common being the rover minilites I guess???

exactly. if they charge you more than £10-20-odd for a change in backbox then I think you need to re-assess which company you're using anyway!

Don't forget to stock up on Autoglym to keep it shiny too!
