Just putting this out there, If your car had a missing or damaged Tag, and you have rego papers and other info to prove your car is the car, Say someone like Rare Spares made these Tags and on the Tag it says replacement tag say in corner of tag etc, and rare spares only issued these on you have to meet a criteria basis etc, ADR Tag maybe not be made, but PSN Tag and Paint and Trim tag etc, whatwe think here on this.

To replace the missing or damage original tag with the Replacement Tag Adam, if it can be done in a legal manner, why not Adam

[xu2308]

Well if they can be made in the States, maybe Rare Spares should do it and have a rare spares logo on tag and do it in a legal way and stop the usa thing

According to one of the US trim tag repro sites they say "Sorry, we do not, and will not, do VIN tags" It looks like they only do the US equivalent of our Body Identification tag.

Their tags have little errors built in, easy to spot. I don't really have an issue with it as long as nothing is misrepresented. If I had damaged tags i'd get them redone and keep the originals to give to any future buyer of the car.
I have found a few though where people have had tags made that aren't the same as the originals eg one idiot who got the VIN tag done on a HZ Sandman and used the Elizabeth body number as the PSN. Ignored the fact it was a Pagewood car!

[yel327]

That would be silly, you want the originals to prove the new ones are the same!

I like the idea, for completeness...but would worry about scammers somehow getting in on it.

 

i.e. if they can do identity theft and credit card duplicates....then getting an order through for a set of dodgy tags would be a snack??

 

One half of me says...if it was available now, I'd get a set probably, just to give my LJ a more 'finished" look  ( no holes)...but the other half says that when I see cars with those computer generated copy tags, I think they look a bit funny.

 

Not sure

[lx308]

Yea, I agree. Damaged , then fine I reckon. No tag? Too frOcking bad...

Hi  Bob here from New Zealand My GTR LJ 1972 was dismantled to be restored approx 10 years ago, then sold on dismantled with vin tag missing. A member of the local GTR Torana Club  has a register of all GTR Toranas he has come across over many years . Has my car details when  still on the road with the Vin Tag just before it was dismantled and sold on with vin tag missing. I have the original ownership papers from new.  The other two tags and original number on the inner left gaurd .The tag on fire wall has the last four numbers of the vin tag on the back . I have been on to a parts company in Brisbane .Harrisons who can reproduce the three tags at $ 2.500 AU  . I only require the vin tag. I can reproduce a vin tag myself with my cars' numbers as per original as I own this car.  I am not doing anything dishonest or fradulent as I have original ownership papers confirming details and these can  be confirned by the local Torana Club. With me making a press tool die to remake one for myself  what do the members think of these being available to members and how to make them available  Thanks for any replies and feed back  Thanks Bob

I would be saying that if the tags are an original fitment and don't require removal leave them where they are unless it is absolutely needed for repair of areas

around tag ,not owning anything of great importance i would say if they have been removed for security purposes then refit them as per the way they came off the car when needed ,it is too easy these day with computers/cnc machines etc to "reproduce" a tag,but it will never be same as an original as per the reverse stamps used by Holden or otherwise unless they have a really good one to "copyish".

Plenty stuff around lately about dodgy tags and re-tagged cars.....it makes all those that own real ones cringe about when their car will be for sale???my 2 cents worth as a UCer.

[REDA9X]

I'll be interested to see what the fraud squad has to say about Harrisions producing tags.

[rodomo]

I've got a mate, Guido, he can do them for $500

[StephenSLR]

Say someone like Rare Spares made these Tags and on the Tag it says replacement tag

 

They do this in the USA (with no repro message). I have a nice shiny tag on my Mustang (driver's door) that shows VIN, factory options, colour, etc. but there is also 2 VIN stamps on the chassis.  Change a driver's door on a Mustang and you can have a non-matching tag.

In the US they do the BODY tag repro so you can change colour and trim.
