Retro fitting factory options
Does retro fitting factory options count as a modification?

TPMS (Tyre pressure monitor system)
AFL (Adaptive Forward lighting with Bi xenons)

Both of which make the car safer and I read somewhere that the EU are going to make it compulsory that all new cars have TPMS and Xenon headlamps.

I know it's a modification to the car but they are factory options and all genuine parts have been used rather than aftermarket light units.

alternatively, would

So I have the following parts.

Front shock's with springs, rear shocks, Front and rear sensors & the Flexride module.

I found it really hard to find the correct plug needed for the front strut extension harness, the only place that "stocked it" never had any stock and kept saying stock was coming in for months until I got shitty with them then they cancelled the order and refunded me.

I was able to finally find
