Good luck, that's all I can say.
If you check the rules about the LEZ zone you'll find out you can't change it.
If you could a lot of people would have done it to get around them.

Done the same to mine, still not LEZ compliant, the chassis no denotes wether commercial or station wagon. Not sure but think you will need a vosa check before any log book changes regarding additional seats. Insurance might be an issue.
Let us know what happens.

Exactly! For LEZ purposes it will only ever officially be what was recorded at first registration and is entirely dependant on chassis number. DVLA wont let you change it. My TD5 90 CSW has body type of "estate" which you can change to anything you like from the drop down list of body types on the DVLA website.

id be very patient waiting for a reply off dvla, after around 6-7 weeks you'll get a form to fill in i.e chassis no, engine no, changes made to vehicle (of which you need to send pictures before and after the changes) then you have to wait another another possible 6-7 weeks for a reply. i know this as i sent my changes form off 3 weeks ago just waiting on wether it needs an inspection. BLOODY NIGHTMARE

I'm not saying you want to be LEZ compliant, if it was that easy everybody who needed to be compliant would have done it & saved them having to sell their motor or put in a V8 coz the DVLA won't let them change it.

You can put everthing in & put people in the back but the insurance won't like it cos it's not to factory spec.

Dont forget you also need to put in the extra bracing for rear seatbelts and not just the seats. They bolt down through the wheel box and onto the rear crossmember.

You will have to drop the tank to secure seat belts.
