ID re-stamping-new vin plates to replace old one, advice needed please
 
Im going to have my escort floor pans replaced as the rust is eating it. is it possible to have the number stamped back into the new drivers side floor pan?
if so where does this?

Also whilst im on the subject, im hoping to get the shell looking like brand new and wondering if i can get my vin plate swapped for a shiny new one as this one has seen better days. i have the old one and the log book in my name so i can prove its mine. Is there a place that does this?

thanks in advance

Local ford dealerships will do this for you for a few quid.

cheers

djgray 09-12-2012 08:48 PM

basty 10-12-2012 04:57 PM

i orderd one a few years back and it arrived 2 weeks later as mine was crushed in an accident

djgray 10-12-2012 05:18 PM

Psycho Warren 10-12-2012 06:49 PM

monster makes plates which you can literally have anything you want on. He is very talented.

You can get brand new original vin plates on egay from time to time. Im sure i read somewhere that some were being remade too??

djgray 10-12-2012 07:57 PM

thank you for the help guys, ill message him now.

do you know anyone that could stamp my new floor pan?
i asked ford today and they said they dont have the stamps anymore?
id try to stamp it myself but i cant do the stars and i know i woudnt be able to get it straight:?

If you are replacing the floor panel where the chasis number is make sure you gets pics before and after just incase you have any DVLA trouble years down the line (I got told this by the DVLA).

djgray 11-12-2012 04:33 PM

iv ordered mine off monster, he sent me pics of his work and it looks amazing!


as for the floor pan im yet to find someone to do it properly.

djgray 19-12-2012 06:42 PM
