hi
is it possible i have scratched my VIN number off the chassis with a wire brush, as i am trying to register it onto spanish plates, and it wasnt fully visible and i was told to clean it but i seem to have totallky scratched it off.



any ideas please people?



thanks

Don't worry, there's usually a "hidden one" underneath a bit of removeable carpet under the driver's seat.

you cant wire brush it off its stamped in the chassis sure you were looking at the correct thing?

hi


i think i was looking at the right number



above the back wheel, slightly to the rear of the tyre,just below the plastic wheel arch cover.



was a long number but i hope ive just filled it full of dirt from wirebrushing it too much, as i somehow need it to be readable for me to transfer it onto spanish plates

i just hope that the chassis number is still there if i can manage to clean it somehow

Hi nick spain,
If its uk registered should'nt it be on the registration document?

hi yes


its on the reg document and everywhere else. the problem is that in order to put it onto spanish plates, it has to be clearly visible under the back wheel arch, which is what i somehow need to clean somehow to make it viewable,

Sorry--I didn'nt know about that!
Is that on all our cars then?
Is it possible it is covered with underseal?--just a thought.
