I checked the archives here or maybe Pelican board a while ago and there was a post about how you could go to a Porsche dealer with verification of ownership and order a replacement VIN sticker.

Something about needing to wait a long time and color or text wasn't same as original??

I'm too lazy to go thru a search and the posts. If anyone has done this I'd really appreciate some info -- how to do, wait time, same as the original or not. If you used a dealer in the So. Cal. area would like to know which one. I can imagine a WTF expression from a dealer that hasn’t done it before.

I took pics of the original one, which had to come off during the restoration to get the jams painted right. I suppose I could eye ball the location but would be better if some of you experts have exact measurements from the striker or other reference point.

The restoration will probably take a few more months but I’d like to order it now if it’s orderable, something tells me it will take a long time to get.

Many thanks in advance!

I'm getting confused. Posted a message on another board about searching for this topic but not being able to find any of my old threads. Anyway come to find I posted it here. Maybe I should read and post before hitting the dinner wine.

Anyway I visited two dealers today in L.A. to order the new label. Both told me Porsche only provides replacement labels for 1986 and newer. Does that sound right? One guy told me I need to bring in the old one which is odd because it was destroyed during the restoration. Aren't their clients mainly people who bought used without a VIN label or one painted over?

If anyone knows of a more up to speed dealer out here in L.A. or can otherwise help with advice please let me know.

Hi Fi guy did yours ever come in? What color was it? I need the silver.

Many thanks guys.

Here I sit....still offering to help any and all club memebers....Porsche has NOT limited the sticker to '86 and above. How do I know this? Because my job title is Parts Manager, Porsche of Nashua, and I've been dealing exclusively with Porsche for over ten years now. I know going to your local dealer might seem more convienent than some guy across the country, but when they can't (or won't) help you out, how about trying a fellow club member with dealer ties? I know I'm not the independants who everyine buys parts from, but I ain't all that bad either.

Okay... for posterity. Who actually got a replacement sticker, and what does it look like?

IIRC the new decals are current Porsche decals. That is they say Porsche not VW, and the weights are incorrect. Not concours but useful.

Don't take it personally, Eric. You don't post often enough to come quickly to mind. Redshift or Z, however. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
What exactly do we need to have to order a replacement? Copy of reg? Pic of original (if you have one)? Or???
My Blue car will be ready to go to the bodyman here soon, it might be nice to order a new one now.

Come on Partsman, jump in with both feet: tell em they gotta: 1.) provide proof of ownership, 2.) costs and time to get, and 3.) post of picture of the labels. Hey, I for one don't mind that the new labels say Porsche - kinda like that. Eric, you can borrow my digital camera instead of using that camera phone. Anyway, fire away and let people know that 90% of the stuff we want is still available from Porsche and you can give fellow 914club members are real good deal.

I have my sticker at home..I'll scan it in tonight and post it...or, if anyone that got one from me can post it quicker...

All I need is a copy of the title (or registration) and your license, and we're off to the races...at least on this sde of the Atlantic. Last one I got took about 6 weeks. My fax number is 603-595-1708. I'll get the current cost from Porsche too.

Copy of the title is a no brainer. Copy of the license? Driver's license? License plate?
