not yet, but they will insure me commercial till its converted and VRT'd as my V5 chow's it as commercial...

[fonecrusher1]

So you can insure it as a commercial vehicle?

yeah but they have a time limit on how long i can keep english plates..

[fonecrusher1]

As far as i know Rob you do have to present the car to a vrt inspection official. Check out this site; www.revenue.ie

Im insured with Mike Murphy commercial insurance by the way, give them a call, you might get a cheap quote?

Yup, exactly. Everyone thinks you need to block out the back windows with carpet. Wrong. Limo-grade tinted rear windows qualify as a commercial change. Are your rear windows tinted?
Take out your back seats, remove the bolts, take off the seat belts & try your luck with the inspection. If its rejected, they will tell you exactly where you went wrong & you end up all the wiser for it.
Are you still paying regular road tax?

i have the check list the VRT office tick off, the girl before christmas was kind enough to print it off & forget it on the counter when she left,

bless her cotton socks, if i could be arsed i'd scan it in, before i go to all that effort i will try blag my way into VRT'n it without presenting it....
