Default Meister-R TUV Insurance

So the modding spending spree continues. This is effin addictive... ive become obsessed with this car!
I've just oredered Meister-R due to information on this site suggesting its the better lower cost coilover.
After I pushed the final button I read that these are not TUV approved (whatever that means). Does this make them/my car uninsurable?
Also, evidently as my ignorance shows I am new to this modding thing. So, should I be worried when I call my Insurer to declare all this?
Do I need to declareo other stuff i've ordered like a CR gear knob and Honda front lip spoiler?

Thanks

TUV = Technischer Überwachungsverein, the German authority that approves German registered cars.

Nothing to worry about. UK insurers either don't care about suspension mods, or will charge you extra based on how much it's lowered. But you need to tell them (even about your knob in theory).

Prepare to bend over if your insurer is someone like privilege... they charged me 260 quid to insure my exhaust just cos its a modification.

Adrian Flux isn't an insurer. They are a broker. They are owned by Aon.
