Chassis numbers can be checked anywhere, not just at borders. If you try to sell the car it will almost definitly be checked either bythe buyer or customs. It often happens that they are checked at police checkpoints as part of a "big control" which is usually an attempt to get money off you. A dodgy VIN number will be greeted with much shaking of heads, much "this is very very serious" comments and a lot of cash being forked out on your side.
Ed´s suggestion is good, the better it is done then more so. Try to get your hands on a blank "type plate" (I´m mot sure what they are called), theyre the small plates at the front of the bonnet with chassis number, chassis weight etc. Brush your teeth regularly, wear a clean shirt, change your undewear regularly and you shouldn´t have too many problems.
