Yes, no such clause permitting use of pattern parts exist in your T&C. Thanks for confirming.
Anyone else wants to confirm too?
Have you turned yourself in at the local police station and reported yourself for driving without valid insurance yet?

If it doesnt say I cant, then I'm ok. How about you?
What about cars that are out of production, like historic cars for example. Parts that are no longer available from dealers for older cars.
Parts that are not available quickly for more modern cars?
Give up. I don't know what your knowledge field is in the world, but it isn't cars and the aftermarket.

If it doesn't specifically say that you can't use aftermarket parts, you can.
They don't specify things that you can do, they specify only things that you cannot do.

Is there a clause prohibiting the use of pattern parts?
Is there any clause permitting to change a wheel when you have a puncture?
What do you do in such eventuality?
Do you call the insurance and let them know that you're fitting the emergency skinny wheel?
Nutter!
The supplied skinny wheel is manufacturer approved. Notification is not required. If you use a non-approved skinny wheel, you should notify or risk invalidation.
Yes. The T&C only references approved parts. Anything not in the T&C, the insurer did not agree to and therefore cannot pay out for. Additionally, they are justified to claimed against you costs arising out of mandatory pay outs to third parties. They are further justified to claim legal and administration costs from you. Throughout, you have to pay for your own legal costs - at the minimum, thousands if you are quite lucky and manage to find a cheapskate solicitor.
That's not how contract law works. If it doesn't say you can, then you can't and shouldn't. You can if you insist. Then the agreement with the insurer is no longer valid. The agreement is made in full or not at all. There's no such thing as a partial invalidation.
I have not read my T&C yet. It's completely possible I have the pattern parts allowed clause. I suggest you read you own to get a peace of mind. But, all your customers will surely claim against you if you have inadvertently invalidated all their insurances through the use of pattern parts?

Do you actually have a licence to drive yet ?
Yes, I am a long standing and very experienced driver and car licence owner. I don't own the car, the DVLA does.

I don't know why I keep posting, you're not taking anything in. Actually I do. It is so people finding this thread are nit musled by you.
But explain how dvla owns your car .
As for pattern parts being legal or not. Just ask your insurance, see if they are OK with your car being serviced using pattern parts.
I seem to have to teach you all the ropes. Are you a junior/apprentice mech recently got into the trade? Have you considered doing something different? I could tell your natural calling is elsewhere.
The DVLA Own My Car
In the UK, your car has a title which is proof of ownership and you never even know this document exists, let alone have possession of it. Proof of ownership of the car is called "Manufacturer's Statement of Origin" sometimes called the "Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin". The actual title of

Pretty sure they are legal if they are sold on amazon. Not too sure if on ebay. Legal or not, the insurer doesn't cover anything they haven't agreed to.
Cobblers. All the DVLA own is the right to the registration mark.

If you read the v5c it clearly states it is not proof of ownership. Other documents are required for that.
Give up on the pattern parts argument. They are perfectly acceptable (If of reasonable quality) and do not affect your insurance in any way.
Performance and value enhancing items are different. You need to understand the difference.
I imagine you are the authority on what is and isn't reasonable?
