LPG conversion and insurance
Discussion
Hi guys - I need some advice.
Converted my car to LPG last summer and can't remember if I notified the insurance company?!?. Had a prang on black ice 2 weeks ago, and insurance co are sending their engineer out to validate estimate. Damage exclusively to bumpers and lights (no engine damage).
Assuming I didn't notify them, where do I stand re vehicle modifications invalidating my claim? The LPG conversion has not resulted in more performance, only cheaper running costs. In my opinion the LPG conversion has not lead to a higher risk driver, but is that how they will see it? And the accident was due to black ice NOT engine performance.
Anyone got any thoughts?

Thanks guys - mixed bag of replies.
Conversion was done by Autogas registered dealer (one of only 2 in South Wales) and I have a certificate. Inclined to see what turns up -notifying insurance company post crash seems a bit pointless
With repair costs c£6500 can't even contemplate a rejected claim......
