Build Plate / Build Sticker

[robramjet]

Hey, my first real post, brought on by some recent unpleasantness

If the build plate/sticker in a Holden is so damn precious and necessary, then why is it a puny liitle black sticker that I can peel off in 2 seconds rather than a metal plate riveted to the body of the car like the compliance plate?

Is it a common occurrance to lose these stickers?

Mine is a stamped aluminium plate pop-riveted to the upper radiator support chassis.

Same as Dave k's.

I think that little sticker is from opel ? ?

Maybe it's only the Astra then? My Classic hatch had one and my new wagon has one, and it's just a tiny black sticker stuck on the top of the radiator support chassis. The one on my hatch mysteriously disappeared and the dealer I bought the wagon off screwed me because of it, devalued my trade-in.

i have a Cd hatch and had a cdx wagon and yes they had / have those little black stickers but they also have the build stamped aluminium plate pop-riveted to the upper radiator support chassis.

never heard of a build sticker..

all build plates should be a rivted piece of metal.. perhaps your dealer saw you coming..

Maloo, could you pinpoint exactly where that plate is? I'm not much of a revhead I'm afraid, and the upper radiator support chassis could be on the roof for all I know!

Thanks

That's what I thought, and that's what the sticker is fixed to, but I can't see a plate with the same details on it. Should it be clearly visible on top?

should be.. if it's not, check your manual, it may have been moved to a different location for your model car..
