Yeah my s1 is converted . And yep my insurance company was quite happy to insure , but when I delved deeper good luck getting a claim through , some company's won't touch it coz the fact the year and engine size don't match up to it being manual. Kind of like my work ute a ssz sustained some front end damage , a very well known insurance agency decide a special prestige car excess was to be charged at $800 , it's a bloody commonwhore guys only needed bonnett and front guards, there same as executive commodore panels lol
