just re-stamp the floor, you are only replacing what you removed, you have proof with your pics, you will not be doing anything wrong, its only if you stamp a different number that it is deemed illegal

PassionFord Post Whore!!
I don't think you can buy that one - the star isn't part of the VIN, it is a security stamp to show authenticity and to stop extra characters being added at the start or end of the VIN.

Yes be careful,speak to the dvla and possibly the police to get the proper info, don't want chop the floor out then be told you needed to get it inspected before ypu had!!!
They may look on it as a ringer if they dont see the original floor in the shell!!!

I would love to know the correct answer to this awell. I phoned DVLA and they wouldn't offer any advise and forward me on to VOSA who told me that I can just remove the panel and have the new panel stamped at a garage.. just seems to easy don't it!!
I'm going to take plenty of photographic evidence and keep the old panel.
It has been suggested that I take the replacement panel before its fitted to an engraver for a better finish???
Let me know what you decide to do!
