If the original mini and the replcement shell are both bought legaly then go for it  it's not harming anyone and i bet there are a lot more minis on the road with a lot more serious undeclared mods  and there must be 1000's of minis that have been restored where more than 50% of the bodtywork is not original. |

that system isn't used any more now, the only way you can physically keep the same plate now is with a BMH shell any thing else will get a age related plate ( Q plates have also been scrapped) or if you dont inform the DVLA / VOSA of the reshell its a ringer which is a criminal offence im not saying dont do it, theres a hell of a lot of minis still alive thanks to reshelling with second hand shells, just pointing out that technically its not legal. im not gonna admit to doing it myself but lets just say i know of at least one mini  |
