No. Highly illegal
Use proper English, not sms talk.

Personally I've never heard or re-stamping VIN plates. I've heard of restamping VIN numbers.

In either case. ILLEGAL.

As pointed out above - restamping of compliance plates is illegal.
Let's keep things civil guys. Not everyone is capable of translating shorthand typed replies. It doesn't take that much to type out a reply in full...
