Vin plate question.......

[SebringRS]

As i was about to paint under the bonnet very soon on the 1100, i decided to take all the trim etc. off for now as i didnt wanna paint over it, got the VIN tag off and decided its abit old and faded so could do with a new one.

 

Now ive found loads all the same design, but all saying "Made in England", whereas the one i've took off, says "Assembled in Ireland"

 

 

Any ideas where i can get a blank one of them from If not, ill just have to go for the England one instead

Unless it's really bad, clean it up a bit and stick with the one you've got. it adds a bit of age and authenticity to the car. A bit like a sepia photograph.

I spose It was also more the way the previous owner has stamped it though, looks like he's used a small chisel

Im pretty sure that cars assembled in Ireland are very rare so id keep that VIN plate on the car. If you join this forum http://z8.invisionfree.com/EveryFord_Ireland and ask on there im sure someone will tell how rare an Irish MKI is.

Just joined and posted, ta

 

Hopefully someone on there might be able to get a "Assembled in Ireland" vin plate, then i can keep the Ireland bit, but have it stamped properly
