New VIN Plate ????
Basically I was wondering if it's possible to get replacement VIN plates made, as I wouldn't mine getting a new one for mine. Over the years of many people rubbing the VIN plate and general age, it's got a few fine scratches on it and I got to thinking about if you could get replacement ones.
Surely this must be possible cos I remember seeing the two immaculate Mk1s at Gaydon last year and wondering how the VIN plates looked like new???
Any ideas???

I have the business card of a company that legally makes replacements so will post later when i get the phone no. I think it costs around ?40.

On a lighter note, I'd be interested in details of where I can get a new VIN plate as mine was slighty damaged when swapping on to new frnt panel.

They quoted ?39.99 inc vat but as i'm trade that might be a trade price. They said i would have to fax the details on company headed paper.
The cost might be more for the public or maybe they don't sell to the public due to people ringing cars etc….
as for the VW one, i never got that far….

Hope you don't mind me contacting you and the rest of the club, but am also after a replacement VIN plate, when I bought mine in 1996, it wasn't there and would like to replace it now.
Cheers and Happy New Year.

Contact Steve at Tag plates, they are identical to the original. He needs a copy of the log book for the vehicle and a copy of identity such as a driving licence, household bill etc. Either fax them and pay by credit/debit card or post them along with a cheque. The plate is ?39.99, and quick turnaround also.
