Well I´m sure its possible, from a bit more searching it seems minor modifications are straight forward  (lights, seat belts, tow bars, sun roofs)  are quite easy - just take the car to an ITV station with an approved installer certificate for the ITV man to see.  

Further modifications look possible but must also be passed by an engineer.  I have found a company called HGT-R I have contacted them and am awaiting a reply.  If we followed all the laws in Spain/Europe to the letter nothing would get done!

 I would like some more information on this subject as well on the rules for car modification in Spain.  (information - not pointless bickering and squabling please).

As I understand (from the gestor that helped me with changing my car to H plates)   its possible to have certain things modified but it must be done by an "approved" garage/installer and verified by an engineer.  No one seems to know what is exactly is involved - the gestor has never had to go through this procedure before and had hinted that I should have made the modication in the UK - and had the English paperwork changed  and then imported the car. 

When I imported my car it already had several other modifcations which the engineer did not mention during his inspection and it was not mentioned on the subsequent "first"  ITV inspection.  A few of these were glaringly obvious to anyone who knew the particular car I have.  

Has anyone been through the official channels for modification?
