These cars have VIN tags?

 

 

Jsut kidding, mine are straight.

If my manliness is determined by the size of my wallet, then I must be a 7 year old little girl.

Get ours done at a dealer that has a machine that presses the itself Choose numbers put in tag roll lever attach vin tag

People are like slinkeys; they dont really serve a purpose but you cant help laughing when one falls down the stairs.

Let's not talk too much about vin tags, we don't know who is watching this....LOL

My Mini's are un-officially sponsored by Coor's brewing company.

Some cars have new vin plates that were bought to replace a manky old one, others have had vin plates replaced during a restoration or after removal for painting and thus can be made quite badly by the homebody who does not want to pay for a professional job. Most probably however you are seeing revinned cars that have had vin plates made, I have not seen an original vin tag with crooked stamping. I have however seen homemade vin tags, some made of steel and in a similar shape to the proper ones and spot welded to the cars slam panel (the last ones were done by a dealer here in the UK) these home jobs are normally a mess with letters at weird angles as well as spacing that is a mess. P et e r

No more cars left, Westpaminis is now just a memory, Good luck to all those hard working dealers left out there, We can tell you its not easy. We have fully enjoyed meeting all the fine folks we have in the business.

Looking at VIN tags I've noticed that a lot of the older ones are less than perfect and the letters/numbers are not lined up perfectly straight. Just curious what the rest of your VINS look like.

      Thanks
