Tom17 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hi all I'm after a chassis vin or frame plate for my puma. The one under the bonnet. Does anybody know where I can get one. I can only fine older style ones on eBay nothing that looks like a puma one although I wouldn't know as nothing to compare to. Cheers for help in advance Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 First question is why do you need a new one ? probably the best place would be a LR main dealer, I assuming they will stamp it with the correct VIN & fit with genuine rivets,, so take the vehicle & reg docment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Main dealers can supply them, had to get one for ours and we just had to take the V5 and proof of ID form what I remember. It came stamped with the VIN number. You should also have one on the top of the bulkhead, at the bottom of the windscreen.

Tom17 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 my god i called a main dealer and been quoted £200 for it. surely thats not correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom17 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 I've also realised that the window plate is missing too and can't find any of them on eBay or anything. anybody ever sourced one of those outside of lr main dealers as that is criminal for a metal plate 200 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Reckon to be fully legal & for insurance to re-insure a main dealer will be the best option, don't leave yourself open to any comeback if the vehicle hasn't got the legally required information on it stamped on manufacturers correct plates. the vehicle could if not correct to satisfy the DVSA be seized & crushed. so for £200 that's the only satisfactory option IMHO.

Dave W Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 It would be worth contacting any decent local independents, many of them have an arrangement with the local franchise dealer and can often offer things like that at a reduced cost without the same markup. I got a new key for my Range Rover this way and it was about half the price the main dealer quoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EeEk Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 if the number is stamped on the chassis thats all you need to be legal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom17 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Cheers for the help so far I've managed to find some perfect ones in eBay for a fraction of the price only problem is I don't know the weight values etc that go in them. Would anybody be willing to send a pic of their plate (with your chassis number covered of course) just to show how it is laid out. I'm also struggling with the colour code. My car was originally a lovely light blue but the theifs rollered it red. I've now had it painted corris grey would I be better putting the old paint code or the new paint code Cheers for any help in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom17 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 It would need to be a puma 90 hardtop chassis plate if anybody could help who has one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
