apparently they are not allowed to be performance enhancing! and apparently the £1000 has to be vauxhall parts

shouldnt you have found all this out before you went and put it on?
end of the day, you either pay the premium for the bits you add, or else take them off
there is no way around it

Well your other most obvious option is to not take the stuff out, but not tell the insurance company. if u have an accident swap back to standard stuff. depends how likely u think you are to crash really lol.
