Apologies, I forgot to update this thread. Here is an update:
I called Allianz and got through to Bernard. After the usual confirm your policy number name address etc, I told him I was calling because I had a concern with the Insurance documentation they had sent me out. ( Before I told him what was wrong with it I stated the following)
The original quote I got off of Steve a colleague of his was for a DC5 TypeR. (First phone call to Allianz) I gave date of call.
The second Call I made to Allianz (after I cancelled my insurance with Aviva) I was speaking with Dorotha and I paid for my policy again stating it was a TypeR I was paying for. I gave date of call again.
Now I told him my concern was that it stated Integra i 16v on the insurance documentation and not a Type R.
He said ok, can I ask you one question, can you confirm your registration number, which I did, he then said that this is printed on my policy which I agreed it was.
Now here is the kicker, he said you are fully insured as driving a TypeR. He said they use my reg against a National database that is shared with the government and the gardai. On this database the reg number is linked to your chassis number which in this case is a TypeR. (I knew that this is how it works, because I got the information from another guy that worked with quinn direct years ago when no one would insure my CL1 Euro R because they did not know what it was.)
He said the documentation model is just what they have on there system from the first time a DC5 Type R was brought into the country and registered as that, so they just put that on the documentation.
He confirmed again that if I have a claim in the morning I am fully covered as driving a Type R and there is nothing to worry about.
Now I am not being sexest here, but in both occasions, it took a male to explain that to me. The first instance with my Euro R was through to females before I got the guy in Quinn Direct. All other calls to Aviva I think 6 in total all female and not one of them mentioned it , because I honestly think they didnt know how the system works and were just reading off there computer screen.!
Anyway apologies for the long story, just hope it helps others in the future.
