Marking "for off road only" no longer works even there. It all comes down to one line really:

You cannot ban tuning products for instance, while you might still be in breach of a number of laws for modifying your car without the relevant paperwork, there is no legal device that can disallow sale of anything but the engines themselves.
And even then, it can only disallow the sale of new engines - existing or second hand sales of these products are not covered by the law.
