Found out today that while the shop was working on my 914-6, one of the flunky's remove & destoyed my sticker from the door-jam. I had made it Perfectly Clear that this sticker was not to be touched and to be protected during the restoration. But now it's gone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
I was told that you can get them from Porsche? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I know that George sells replicas, but how do you get them perforated? Pissed & confused in Tampa, T.C. |

MikeZ is 100% spot on;
T.C. I doubt you would have any problems with what you are trying to do. You have a well documented restoration underway on a well documented numbers matching vehicle. To fab up a replacement sticker to fix the bodyshop yob's error, I'd be gobsmacked if any type of court officer would give a crap - or even notice. By the letter of the law illegal? Maybe. But it's obvious you are not running a racket. BUT I'd be very cautious about creating from scratch new VIN stickers; this is where we start getting visits from the FBI and RCMP. The best effort here is to use the aftermarket labels available and recreate the look. High end woodworking suppliers have various small punches in the sizes needed to create both the circles and the perfed numbers. It would be tedious and may require a few attempts but no doubt you'll get what you want cheers, m. |
