nice piece of work if you can do without the rear seats.molly our border terrier normally sits on the front seat next to me(y)maybe for your next car you should get a 500l.good colour choice btw
 
I may have said this before, but a dog should never really sit on the front seat, even if harnessed and buckled.

i know but she is safely attached and well behaved also my back windows are tinted so dont want to take the chance of sharp claws scratching the film:)
 
Did not tell them as its only removing my rear seats and putting a cage in .
Just the same as folding your seats down and putting a dog cage in.

No it isn't removing the seats is a modification in your case, they're not designed to come out like an MPV for example.

Might be worth checking this https://www.fiatforum.com/panda/326629-flat-floor-instead-rear-seat-van-mode.html / https://www.fiatforum.com/panda/326629-flat-floor-instead-rear-seat-van-mode.html?p=3263185 and contact your insurer so you don't have any issues later on (y)
 
best tell them or sell the car and get a something with a bigger boot

If you're with a ecent reputable insurer then I think you might be ok, its the cheaper budget insurance co's and brokers which I think might start to cause issues. Fingers crossed it isn't going to be an issue for you :)
 
I have done the same to an old 206 I had. Never even crossed my mind to contact my insurance to inform them. It has been inspected by someone from the insurance company twice to see if it was worth repairing after two accidents (both not my fault) and never was anything mentioned about the fact the rear seats were taken out and replaced with a piece of mdf.

Loss adjusters / accessors are often contractors, so unless they were specifically looking out of trying to pay then its unlikely they would have mentioned it.
