Replica Vin Plates in Aluminium

Hi all…

As you may have know I was machining the ‘replica’ VIN plates in plastic, well now I have started to machine some in an anodised aluminium. This aluminium when machined allows the text to show through the plate in silver lettering.

They look really smart – especially the black one, which is not too far from OEM.

These are replica’s or replacement plates with the word ‘replica’ on them to cover myself from any possible issues with the law.



They are available in blue, black and red as shown above.



This is an example mocked up on my front panel.

Available to purchase from here:  golfgtiportline.com

Nice work Hugh  

They look brilliant Hugh, good work !!

Very nice!

Thanks Guys for the comments!  

How do  I go about ordering one of these please? Thanks

Hi if you click on my website in my signature - go to shop then parts - add to cart, fill in your vin details and pay with Paypal and I'll do the rest!  

OK I will do that - I just need to check what the weight figures should be form my car (1.8GTI cabby) and then I will get the order placed asap. Thanks

Hi Chris

Thanks for your vin plate order.

I just tried to ring you on the number presented.

I am on holidays this week so not in a position to machine until Tuesday after Easter.

Normal postage is 3/4 days.

look good, i never had a plate on mine, how do i find out the serial number?

Good Question - I think it's an internal code by VW so not entirely sure where it can be sourced.

Hi Hugh.  Thanks for the plate - arrived today and looks spot on  

I can recommend these

Thanks cbdubs - glad you are happy with it.  

Id like to buy one of these but im having difficulty getting the serial number, vw uk did not have any info on my car, does anybody know who i can contact to get this information?

I got all my car info from VW Germany direct, but from memory (it was some years ago!) they needed my chassis number to give me the info - i.e. manufacture date etc.

Maybe off just the original engine number (if you know it) they can give you the VIN?

Thanks,

apparantly they told me my car was a swiss import thats why they didnt have any info off my chassis number.

il do a search for vw in germany now, thanks

Check here George - here's the email addy I used and got reply from - View topic: I want to know more about my GTI! - The Mk1 Golf Owners Club

It was 2005 though so maybe useless now?!    

Gonna give that email a try, need a few bits of info such as the serial number for mine so i can get 1 of these made up

sent some emails over just waiting for the responses, will update with any info i have, thanks
