Dont get me wrong, im not saying its a ringer, its just you have to be 100% sure in your own mind when someone has done a re-shell that it has been done 100% legitimately with all the correct paperwork in place.
Im sure quite a few people on here remember Keiths experience with his mint reshelled Series 1, that within weeks of costing him a fair wedge of cash was stuck on a Q plate by VOSA inspectors due to the previous owner not following the correct procedures.
I would hate to see anyone have the same unfortunate luck as him, and therefore can only advise what I know to be fact of the VOSA procedures.
