dvla said that i should contact vw to make a replacement plate think their getting confused dont think vw would make a replacement engine side panel with my chassis num in?must be talking about ally plate behind seat which is where the mot bloke got the vin number from last mot

spoke with a mate about this tonight ..

Knows his stuff .. Says anything registered pre 80 can be registered as vin or chassis number lost in restoration .. Therefore it can be replaced by you as required and shouldn't cause a prob for mot
