plates can never be re-attached too
I think that last comment is a rather tortuous interpretation of the law. Yes its illegal for anyone other than the manufacturer to "place" a compliance plate. Not sure if that really covers repairs.

But anyway, my point is mostly around the repairs. If a 3-door has had repairs to the B pillar, its possibly be t-boned. At a very minimum, I would be going over it carefully, and with a magnet. Personally, I just wouldn't bother.
