The manufacturers. But chances are they didn't go through the procedures of getting a homologation. With most of these rule changes though, you can get exceptions for things that were already on there before the rules changed.

The things in Spain stay in a bit different way. No matter you have (or don´t) the manifacturer CE certificate of conformity, every important mod to the car (body, suspension, engine, wheels, brakes etc..) have to be made under the project of licensed engineer/company/garage. Any industrial/mechanics engineer (with civil responsability insurance) can make that for you. Only the manifacturer certificate will be enough if you are to change/fit OEM parts, like the side skirts, but only if you buy the parts from Fiat dealer. Later, with the signed project in hand, you have to pay (yes, pay laugh ) visit to the local MOT (itv) to have the changes revised (reformas homologadas) and included to the car´s tech papers (ficha tecnica) Well now, there are certain mods that can´t be made never (i.e aftermarket steering wheels), and others are limited (i.e tyre dimensions and track width), but it´s pretty clear this system was made by the authorities to earn good cash, themselves and all the useless stuff around. And passing the MOT here is something like the theory of relativity, I´ve managed to pass a company car with no lights, and the lass week was rejected by the same station for excesive worn of the rear brake disks of 2 years old car crazy But there are tips&tricks, most of this licensed companies operate also at i-net, just sending them Before- and After- pics, and the payment of course, they prepare all the paperwork for you. More mods you pay for at a time - it´s cheaper, that´s one of the reasons I have the car pretty standart and the store room is full of parts waiting. Also, to get your life easier with the MOT guys it´s always good idea to go for the more factory look possible, they basically don´t know the Coupe by first hand so some things could pass unnoticed (just painted in matte black and covered with thick dust laugh ) Have some links in the other PC, will search them and PM to you, suppose it´s not of general interest here.
The updated law (BOE 14Jul2010 Sec.I) apart from unifying the Spanish homologation codes with the used in EC, now changes from Important mod- to Any mod- made to the vehicle after it´s fabrication. And this is as good as bad, one will have to homologate every mod made, but in other hand, more mods could be legalised, previously impossible to think of, i.e. the xenon or led lights (expensively though), but now one have to pay for changing the body color, if different with xx%. $Daytime robbery anyway$
