Chassis Plates & Data Plates

A chassis/data plate carries vehicle identification information. Replacements are commonly needed after corrosion, damage, restoration work or repairs where the original becomes unreadable.
How do I know what size plate I need?
If you can, measure the original or upload a photo with a ruler/scale. Add notes in the order and we’ll match the size where possible.

Weld-In Chassis Plates

For projects that need a weld-in solution.

What is a weld-in chassis plate?
A weld-in plate is designed to be fitted as part of repair/restoration work where the mounting area is being rebuilt. If you’re unsure, contact us with a photo of your chassis area.
Can a weld-in plate be made to match my layout?
We aim to match the required layout and info based on what you provide. Upload clear reference photos and include any sizing/placement notes.

Salvage / Auction / Rebuilds

Common questions for rebuild projects and auction vehicles.

I bought a salvage/auction vehicle — can I order replacement labels?
If you’re completing a legitimate rebuild/restoration and the original labels/plates were damaged during repairs, you can order replacements by providing clear details and supporting info.
My labels are missing after repairs — what should I do?
Start by collecting clear photos of any remaining markings/plates and your vehicle paperwork where applicable. Then order the closest matching product and add notes — we’ll guide you if clarification is needed.

Restoration & Classic Vehicles

Period-correct looks and clean replacement options.

A respray/bodyshop removed my VIN sticker — can I replace it?

Imports & Conversions

Imported vehicles, conversions and format questions.

Do you support Japanese imports / EU / US imports?
We support many import scenarios. Upload clear photos/details and we’ll advise on the closest matching replacement format.
I need an import conversion/weight plate — what do I provide?
Upload any existing plate/label photos and provide the required figures where applicable. Add notes about where it will be fitted and any sizing requirements.

MOT / Inspection Readiness

Replacing unreadable/damaged labels during legitimate repairs.

My VIN label is unreadable — can I replace it for MOT/inspection?
If the original label/plate is damaged or unreadable due to wear, corrosion or repairs, a replacement may be appropriate. Provide clear reference details and notes for accurate reproduction.
Where should the replacement label/plate be fitted?
Fitment varies by vehicle and product type (door/B-pillar, windscreen, engine bay, chassis). If you’re unsure, contact us with photos and we’ll advise on typical placement.

Fitting & Aftercare

Preparation, adhesive tips and long-term durability.

How do I apply a VIN sticker cleanly?
Clean and dry the surface fully before application. Align first, then press from the centre outward to avoid bubbles.
Will the label/plate withstand weather and cleaning?
Our materials are chosen for durability. For best results, allow the adhesive to bond after fitting and avoid pressure washing directly over the edge of a new label.

Trade & Bodyshops

Repeat orders, support and fast turnaround.

Do you support bodyshops and trade orders?
Yes — we can support regular trade and repair workflows. Contact us with your requirements for the most efficient ordering route.
