    Default VIN plate

    Hey guys could do with a hand...

    My car doesn't have the VIN plates on the front slam panel. However it has the correct chassis number under the seat which I used for its recent MOT.

    Could someone post a picture of the two plates I need so I can get some made up by a specialist on the internet. Just another piece to the puzzle for my Nova.

    Thanks guys.

    If you go to your local vaux garage they can get you an original one but they are quite expensive from what i can remember.

    Flat bit of tin, radiused corners with some numbers stamped in from underneath, painted body colour & riveted to the slam panel.

    Just a quick Google search came back with...

    http://www.vin-plate.co.uk/

    http://www.chassis-plates.com/

    http://www.vintagsuk.com/

    http://www.tagplates.com/

    I have used Tag Plates before to get a new POC plate made up and they did an excellent job.
