Very nice! I'm just disappointed that it doesn't have the original oil and gas. And what's with the ripped data plate?

It's been repainted?

It does seem odd that the VIN stamp sticker in the frunk has been torn and looks to have some paint over-spray on it. The Chassis Number plate in the frunk has some paint over-spray on it as well like it might have been repainted, but that is the last place that I would have expected to need a paint touch-up. Why?

I read once that it was against German Automobile laws to paint over or tamper with the VIN stamp sticker on top of the passenger side wheel well in the frunk. I have no idea if this true or not.
