VIN PLATE REPLACEMENT.

Where can l obtain a vin plate replacement as my car had the crossmember removed due frontal damage and the vin plate wasn't replaced onto the new crossmember.

Maybe go back to the repairer quickly to see if they can salvage the old VIN plate, if it's not too badly damaged. You could then have it riveted back in the proper location.

I believe as long as you have at least one VIN identification that is complete and legible you can still obtain an MOT (drivers door pillar and one on the dashboard passenger's side).

If you want a VIN plate on the crossmember have a look here:

They don't provide the plates stamped, but you can purchase a blank Vauxhall VIN plate and buy a punch kit to do it yourself.

I think its a bit to recover it as l only realized it was missing after a month after the repair, The car was vic checked but l was hoping if l show the v5 details then l could have a replacement vin plate made. Do Vauxhall hold details.

Vauxhall (Luton) hold details of all vehicles.
You could enquire at your local Vauxhall dealers to see if they could have a new VIN plate made up for you. Obviously you would have to provide proof of ownership (via V5 document) unless you've had your car serviced by the local Vx dealer.

normally they just put a sticker on the inside of the drivers door 🙂
