DVLA and roof skin swap

[appletree]

Just a thought, now I have swapped from a sunroof skin to a non sunroof skin do i need to inform the DLVA or have any sort of check done before i get the car back on the road this year?

[jmc330i]

I wouldn't bother. It's not like its been modified, it's simply had a rust repair

[appletree]

I'd like to think so but i think on the V5 doesn't it say something about sunroof as a detail?

[Fal_325i]

I can't recall there being anything about the sunroof on the log book.

thats a new one... woudnt bother telling the dvla anything bunch of mongs especially a sunroof?, will most likely cause you trouble and ballache in the long run, as they will probably deem your car unroadworthy til it has had a check etc, know someone that declared an engine swap, car was not allowed on the road for a couple months and had to be inspected by some vosa bod....

Sounds like you've not had much grief with the DVLA in the past Matt? That will change if you start telling them things like this

[appletree]

Leave it as it's is then, worth telling insurance though?

[HairyScreech]

Leave well alone.

The car has had a genuine non-sunroof skin fitted as a corrosion repair, best not to poke the hornets nest.

What roof repair would be my answer. Like that when i bought it.

I had the same response to, s50 engine ? what do you mean ? Thats how it came.

Bet that went down well with your insurer...

I dread the day I'd have to contend with a roof skin replacement. Did you do the work yourself Appletree?

[jcm325]

Don't tell them it will turn into a nightmare. ....would you inform them if you replaced the bonnet /wings/doors /bootlid due to rust? Probably not ....I see the roof as the same! !!!
Upto you of course! !!!
