Where to find the VIN
On most cars the VIN is visible at the base of the windscreen (driver side) and on a label in the driver-side door opening; check your registration document too.
China-spec vs export-spec
The Dolphin G DM-i is a different car from the electric Dolphin and from the Dolphin Mini (Seagull), so parts do not cross over. Its hybrid system is reported to be shared with the Atto 2 DM-i, which does not make the cars interchangeable. Charging inlets differ by market: China-spec cars use the GB/T standard and export versions are built for the destination market, and this car was built first for Europe. Send the VIN.
