tbh there are many factors about this subject.
me personally would not worry about the police if the car has got an MOT, tax and insurance for beeing a 2.0 conversion. my freind is a police man and he had a XE van, he could tell if you had a 2.0 sitting in the bay as other police men/officers would never check or no.
i would not buy a 2.0 conversion car myself as my luck it would be a problem waiting to happen. not saying all conversions are riddled with issues but some are pretty home made and can be quite dangerous !
if was to go down the 2.0 route i would do it myself so you get to learn a bit about it and how the engine works, so if any problems do pop-up, you can maybe diagnose them yourself.

Make sure it is registered as a 2.0 1st of all...
You just have to somehow make sure it's a solid conversion done with the right parts...I had my 2.0 corsa for a year and never had any problems with the conversion except as slight leak from sump.
