Hi mate,

Iv just declared alloys on my car and they have taken £150 extra for them.

When i asked for justification "no matter how expensive or how big your alloys are, as soon as you modify your car from standard, i.e. what it came with, you are putting yourself in the 'people who modify their cars' crowd".

Im sure you can work out for yourself what she meant, to me that is wrong, but to us, that is reality

I think more as in 'people who spend more money on their cars are more likely to take care of them'. Tbh though, that probably only really applies to the 21+ enthusiast crowd though, rather than the 17 yr old 'jst past mi tst an ganna put a phat bodykit an rimz on mi Corsa blud' ...

Yep you have done very well for me. As has been said, people like myself are enthusiastic about our cars and are more likely to look after them.
