Stealers will normally ask for a chassis number for any part if they had anything about them so they can order the correct part for that vehicle.
I work at a dealer and our parts lads always ask for the chassis number as there may be 2 or 3 slightly different parts even for the same model.
Dealers would not be able to sell you 888 parts as Vauxhall would not release them to the dealer unless you could 'borrow' a chassis number.
I might not own an 888, but my mate is parts manager at Pentagon Vauxhall, supplied a lot of Joffs parts and others on this site incl. Me, Ian Storey, Lee H. I rang him, and he said the only reason they ask for chassis number is because a lot of the parts are non-standard and it's easy to supply the wrong parts. He said he would order/supply parts with no chassis no. but if they are wrong, you can't have a refund! My wife is an accountant for BMW and they're like that with M-sport parts.......Quote:

Still shouldn't have ANY badges though Joff!
I also work for BMW & they will not release M Power or Cooper S parts without the chassis number, we cannot physically order them without it. Its to try and stop people sticking M3 badges etc on there 318i SE.
You can order standard Vauxhall part without the chassis number but not 888 items as it stops people building replicas etc & cheapening the original product.
joff thats one of the tidiest novas about! looks good!
Lose the badges mate, don't cheapen it with stick on bits!
Looking v good though otherwise!
