dazla Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I actually posted this when i first joined but didnt get many replies. I did a straight swap for an fto for the supe that i now own off a chap. I think back now and realise that he was quite eager to get rid of it. Well silly me didnt even look for the Vin plate under the bonnet and when i finally did, there just wasn't one there. Now theres a vin number under the bonnet just under the windscreen printed into the chasi and that Marches the one on my log book, but the question is that why has my Vin plate been removed! Is there any reason for this and is my car legal! Its driving me crazy thinking about this so some good advise would be really appreciated.

Guest mk47 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Maybe the wing was replaced and they didnt put the vin plate on? Might be worth doing a HPI check - because to be honest why would you want to swap a supra for an FTO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazla Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 yea i keep telling my self that but at the time i was to excited because i was getting a supe. I did an hpi check on it before i got it and everything was fine. I think i should do another because last time i didnt have the Vin number.

dazla Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Well I've just done another hpi check and everything is fine thank god. although i still dont like the idea of having no Vin plate. Is it possible to get another one or am i totally stuck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phillw454 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 yes your car is legal, you can file off your vin number if you wanted. Alot of stolen cars do cause the police cant prove they filled it off to hide the cars ID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
