I went online last night to get a quote for my car. When the quote was finished it came up with this:

Vehicle Details: FIAT SEICENTO SPORTING FIAT 1.1 Michael Schumacher Sporting 3dr (2001 to 2003) 38,000 Miles

Registration: Y595FAN

I always thought i just had a sporting. Or is it them thats got the car wrong?
How can i tell the difference from a Sporting & Michael Schumacher Sporting? Other than the badge
 
Firstly, have a look on your registration document. If it doesn't say Fiat Seicento Michael Schumacher at the side of the 'Model / Type' then it isn't one.
Also, they only came in Red (rosso tiziano) on your paint code in the boot or yellow (broom yellow), so if it's not either of these, then it isn't one.
Lastly, as has been said, it will have ABS, alloy pedals, alloy gearshift surround, alloy handbrake, oval MS badge on the sideskirts instead of Abarth, MS sill plates, boot graphic and the alloy oval numbered plaque on the passenger door - (this looks like it's well bonded on at the factory, so I would imagine it would leave some mark on the door if it's been removed, unless the door's been resprayed).
All of the above parts, could of course, be put on a standard sporting together with the Abarth skirts, roof spoiler and wheels etc. but if the DVLA haven't got it registered as a Schumacher then, of course, that can't be faked, so like I said, your V5 reg doc will confirm it.
