That could make sense as he says he got the wheels custom made to fit over the brakes, so its obviosuly changed hands and wheels.

HOLY SHIT-ON-A-SHINGLE!!! 
Is that not the best damn picrure in the whole wide world?
All that's missing is Monica Belluci in a thong bikini draped across the grass beside it and me winking and doing 'the guns' with the keys in my teeth and the log book in my shirt pocket.

Very very nice, Although I'm surprised it only has 405 bhp, That's alot yes but they can get so much power out of them engines.

A genuine 405 is significantly better than a pub 405 though.
Four hundred is about the limit a T5 box will put up with reliably for a start, plus to get much more power above that you have to start really spending silly money and everything on the car has to be looked at carefully.
Also, putting that sort of torque and power on the road acurately and with some control through two wheels is enough of a struggle.

Looks like a Spec-R item. Quite pricey and very nicely made.
