Hehe, I hope the mods really equates to what you got.

The police here in my area checked many many cars lately, to stop illegal tuning. In Switzerland if you mod your car you need to pass again the test that allows your car to be registered, especially for pollution tests. 20% more power and you need the manufacturer to certificate through a garage the car is still safe and useable on the road. many laws everybody ignore, so many ppl were busted.

They aim at chip tuning, which is damn common in Italy and here, especially on diesels. "funny" thing: several chipped car once tested revealed much higher fuel consumption and same exact power as stock when not even LESS!

i hope it's not your case!
