Most expats I have met care less about their cars let alone modding ...
Cool

The smarter long term expats negotiate car allowances (not a car) and use the money to buy what they want. I've owned a C200 and now the FXT2.5 on my 'car allowance' and in both cases the country managers of the companies I work for have whinged and whined as to why I get to drive such luxury cars while they're in a Nissan Sunny. I usually point out how corrupt the HR people are - they are ALWAYS creaming off the top - a Nissan Sunny lease is about 1.5 times the cost of my usual HP costs.
IF you own the car, you will be interested in it. If it's just a leased car it's going back to the lease company anyways.
W had a HR manager - S L - who was fired for taking 'gift' vouchers in exchange for accepting sub standard cars... I'm sure she's not the only one doing it.
