Gotta agree totally. If its a new shell with blank floors, just get someone who's stamped them before to do it, preferably someone who has the correct stamps with the * although you can use the i stamp and go round a few times. It needs to be done properly otherwise it sticks out like a sore thumb.
It may be technicaly wrong to do it but morally if youre not ringing a motor then I cant see the problem. The DVLA sometimes get their knickers in a twist and you could end up with a new chassis number stamped into the turret!
