Default Pic request - Sapphire floor vin stamp

As title really, would be very grateful if anyone had, or could get a photo of the stamp in floor of the digits, to compare to a J plate 4x4, if that makes any odds.
One I viewed digits slanted forward and back a bit, although were in a straight line.
Many thanks, Justin.

Well when the chassis number looks like it's stamped by a toddler gets you that way

Gonna pop over and have a look at mates in a minute, if it's not just a heap of rust!

Well, mates is nice and tidy, stamped upwards, small, and paint on it.
One I viewed is stamped into floor, no paint, twice the size, and slanted back and forth digits.
Presume something's not 100%.

I've seen them unpainted for sure Justin!

Have you done a HPI report on the car yet?

HPI is all clear, so wouldn't mean car would be taken off me or anything like that I suppose, but something must be up.
Mates isn't painted painted, was hard to look properly due to access issues to car, but a lot different on the whole.

Jase - was just handy with the good trade in mate

So what could be wrong, is a reshell a ringer?
I dunno, what a fucker.

Don't think reshell's are ringers mate no, but i'm SURE you have to do them right so they're not! If that makes sense!

Mate, as Jason said if your not 100% walk away as you'll regret it taking a chance if there is a problem!

Plenty more out there!

Yeah true, only looked at it on off chance really.
Would like some pics though just to see if they vary or not, mates looks factory like though, and this one by hand.
