Correct answer

  • ASí, en todo caso.Yes, in all cases.
Explanation

A major modification must be legalised with the authority responsible for industry (Article 7.2 of the General Vehicle Regulations (Reglamento General de Vehículos)), and for this the vehicle must undergo an inspection at an ITV station before it is driven again, without waiting for the periodic inspection.
