Vin plate replacement?

    My VIN plate has seen better days and you can hardly read it. Is it possible to get a replacement made some how? What happens with all the cars getting around from smash repairs with no VIN plate.

    I really like your V8 Z!

    All cars must have a VIN plate. If there is no VIN plate, the RTA requires you to have it taken to a police station to be confirmed as not stolen. You then must have the VIN number allocated stamped in. VIN numbers that have been checked by the police have the letter P in front of the number.

    e.g. a number like P263945345 indicates a VIN number that was replaced/ allocated and restamped and was checked by the police physically

    I know this, because I had it done once before with a previous car.

    Cheers

    Best to check with your equivalent of vic roads, whoever governs the roads and vehicles or what not

    Do you mean VIN plate OR Build plate ?

    You can just get the VIN number stamped on the chassis if the plate looks crap. None of the 15 year cars even had VIN plates. They where all stamped on the tower.

    If you mean Build plate, No one gives a rats ass if its there or not.

    Well in your case. The build plate now bears NO relationship whatever to your NA spec TT converted car. :p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p

    If you ever want to sell me your LP2 build plate, I've got the money.
    Lots of it.
