2nd hand car. Whats a mod?

A lot of people would think that the filters that drop onto the carb/tb are original thanks to american tv, how many american "Pimp" shows display a standard engine with a pancake filter on the carb?

One of the guys my dad used to work for bought a lancia delta a few years ago, it was registered as an intergrale, and the guy paid a lot of money for it. Dad went out the back to have a look. The guy opened the hood, and dad said, "wheres the turbocharger then?" He said "what?" dad explained that intergrale's are turbo'd, and pointed to the empty space that the turbo should take up. I cant remember what size intergrale's are but dad said the v5 said 1.4!!

The guy had no idea what he was looking at, my mum wouldn't have a clue, and my Mate has a paxo with a full evo kit on it, and a pipercross filter. I explained to his gf (who controls all the cash) that they were mods and she was driving uninsured. she told me i had no idea what i was talking about and that it couldn't be modded coz the garage they got it from had another just like it. It was a Bodyshop (Bob4 near Boston) who they bought it from, and at the time they bought it Bob had just finished another!!!!

I cant see how you could prove you didn't know? It's easy to fein ignorance if they ask you questions to try and catch you out, "Whats that bit there with throttle cable attached sir?" "I think it's the ecu officer."
