Build Plate / Build Sticker

[robramjet]

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

The manual actually makes no mention of a specific build plate or build sticker in the "identification plate" section, just that the year of model is contained in the VIN number on the compliance plate. I would have thought that the date the car was built should be somehow permanently fixed to the car, surely a flimsy sticker can't be it?

Absolutely, I'll take a pic in the morning when it's bright....

Unfortunately the CD hatch which apparently had NO build plate is in the possession of the shonky dealer, but I have a pic or two of it that I took....

Build Plate and Compliance Plate should be rivited to the Fire wall. Im guessing your looking at the car in the pic in a dealership? My Suggestion is to Revs Check it if you are. If the Compliance plate and / or build plate are missing dont buy it until you know the exact reasons . May also help to contact the R.T.A.

car manufacturers no longer make build plates - true story


they use build stickers in their place - they also place marks along the chassis


this is a tamperproof label - also v. hard to peel off - was recently covered in an article in cars guide...
