STRBramley Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I'm trying to find my VIN number so I can send off for my V5 and get my plate put onto the car. The only thing that I can find that resembles any sort of number is the below. Is it any of these numbers? If not then I'm lost as it isn't on the windscreen or on the drivers door. Any help greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 If it's the VIN plate you're looking for, it's at the bottom of the windscreen nearside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STRBramley Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) If it's the VIN plate you're looking for, it's at the bottom of the windscreen nearside This is my view of behind the engine. I can't find a VIN anywhere. [image deleted] Edited July 3, 2014 by STRBramley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Looks like yours has had a replacement windscreen at some stage. The number should still be visible but you're going to need a very powerful torch to see it. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 It's also recorded on your MOT certificate too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) I thought the vin number had z33 in it for imports the one in your pic has z33 in it, someone correct me if im wrong? ......just checked my V5 and under my vin it starts Z33 (I have an import also) Edited July 3, 2014 by jumping350 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRBramley Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 It's also recorded on your MOT certificate too... My V5 shows a 10 digit number in the VIN section. The last 4 digits do match the ones that are on the text when I did a check on the number plate though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 No vin on my windscreen either, just a jdm thang! Z33#### On U.K cars it's not actually on the windscreen but underneath it with a small clear panel so you can read it. That's the idea anyway but it's very difficult to read even in good light. It looks to me that rather than a plate it's actually stamped onto the chassis so it could actually be there but not visible on JDM's. It may be a legal requirement in the U.K due to security reasons...it'd be impossible to swap VIN plates over if one of them is actually stamped into the chassis?
