|
|
I have been looking for quite a while for someone to make me a new vin plate, as the PO lost the original during restoration. Not finding anyone to do this, most said it was illegal, I stumbled across this guy in Ohio that remanufactures various stickers, like tax stickers, old inspection stickers, etc. The website is:www.inspectionsticker.com. I sent him my vin number off of the title, and a mock up of what it would look like courtesy of Kubelmann, and got a cool sticker to put in that place. I took a few pics with the phone, and would be happy to send to anyone interested, I am computer challenged, so haven't reached the point of posting. |

Maybe its me, but I just don't see a sticker or those other plates being viable substitute.

Your right, not trying to be a viable substitute, just adding a "replica", to the vacant spot where the vin should be. If I could get a real looking substitute, I sure would. |

Hello, I had the same problem. I went to a place where they make trophies and commemorative plate and tray. I paid $100 Mexican pesos about $7.57 US dollars, and this is what I got:

I took mine off before my car was painted in 1983. Somehow, I lost it. (It's probably in a box in my garage loft.) Anyway, it's been 31 years, and all I have are the four rivet holes (maybe only 2 are used for the plate; can't remember). So, in all of that time, I guess I've learned to live without it. I hope to find it someday; probably when I move, and I'm forced to sort through all of my VW stuff.
Maybe one could be made with one of those 3D plastic printers, and painted "dull aluminum". I can create a vector file if anybody wants to try it.
Good luck, Mondshine |

Sure, no worries mate. I'll be happy to get one for you. Just send me the information of your Thing and I'll make it happen. It won't be any trouble at all. I think I can send the VIN plate by mail. |

Thanks in advance jjrannauro, all the info is pictured already in this topic, mkparker posted the pic of the sticker I got, the 1st reply to this topic. My vin is: 1833015745. All the other info would be the same as your plate, I believe. |
