Thanks

Not a great picture but I'm seeing V1114DZ and 9N542387  - restamp.

What gives it away as a restamp?
Thanks

Definitely restamped. Look closely. See the machining marks near the engine code?

The partial VIN looks okay but the rest isnt legit.

Ditto. There are a couple of tells on this one - the partial VIN looks decent, but the build date/code stamp is definitely bogus.
