they seem to have completly ruined it by putting 1/2 a kit and spoiler on it, needs to stay black bumpers and spoilerless imo

'' I forgot to Mention it also has a diesel Gearbox because it is stronger than the normal RS Turbo gearbox, to cope with the Power this car produces...''

The Car Is still Registered as a 1.3 
So its cheap to Insure, tax etc

If, god forbid, they were to be in an accident and a fatality occured!!
My car was XR3i on the logbook, and it could have been insured as such, but instead I did the (only) right thing and listed EVERY modification to the insurance company, even down to compression ratio of the engine.
I wonder how many people on here would get a "your cars not insured mate" if they took their car to their insurers for an inspection
Sorry to rant, 1st time in a while
