Default ID re-stamping-new vin plates to replace old one, advice needed please

Im going to have my escort floor pans replaced as the rust is eating it. is it possible to have the number stamped back into the new drivers side floor pan?
if so where does this?

Also whilst im on the subject, im hoping to get the shell looking like brand new and wondering if i can get my vin plate swapped for a shiny new one as this one has seen better days. i have the old one and the log book in my name so i can prove its mine. Is there a place that does this?

thanks in advance

monster makes plates which you can literally have anything you want on. He is very talented.

You can get brand new original vin plates on egay from time to time. Im sure i read somewhere that some were being remade too??

If you are replacing the floor panel where the chasis number is make sure you gets pics before and after just incase you have any DVLA trouble years down the line (I got told this by the DVLA).
