I didn't tell DVLA yet, I told the insurance about every little thing that I did to the car. As I wanted to be legal that way, in case anything happened. As long as you declare the full lot to the insurance you will be ok.
As not telling the insurance is naughty, one metro owner dropped a vvc engine in his metro gti and didn't bother his arse to tell the insurance about it. He must have been doing something daft as the old bill pulled him over, and the copper asked him to pop the bonnet! He had a mems3 vvc engine which doesn't display the vvc on the inlet, But the copper had a lotus elise vvc and clocked the side cam for the vvc system. The copper checked the insurance and found he hadn't told them about the vvc engine. So they impounded the car there and then and told him to sort the insurance out.
Also a mate of mine got pulled over with his metro vvc, but that was about 2 am in the morning, He was leaving a mates unit, in an industrial estate. I think that might have been a check to see if he had been drinking, The old bill asked questions on what he had been up to etc, Ran a check on his car, Saw it insured as vvc and that was it,
My mate asked him about the tax, the copper said as long as its all declared to the insurance, taxed and moted. There isn't a bother, he said the main thing is people not telling the insurance about engine conversions and having a crash.
