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. |
