As the title suggests can anyone tell me if the a specific vin plate can be matched to a body number. Dont worry nothing dodgey going on I just want to know if the long skinny tag on a mates car matches its body number thanks Ron

BODY number is on the BODY plate, but on a HK it never matches the PSN (last bit of the VIN number on the VIN tag). Neither match the chassis number on the firewall. However they all belong together as a set, and they are easily picked as not belonging together by other vehicles around them.

I may be a bit too naive here, but what the issue with posting ID numbers?

My memory is pretty good but I don't memorise VIN, engine & chassis for pleasure.

For goodness sake, what is the worst thing that will happen if someone posts a few ID numbers. Will the sky fall in?

I firmly believe that you will gain more by sharing information, rather then keeping it secret.

PM them to me if you are worried and i'll pass them onto Ben Stewart. No-one can "verify" HK-HG numbers, but you'll at least know if they don't belong together.

I think some people are scared that their numbers will turn up on fake ID tags somewhere. We all know how easy it is to get a fake set whipped up that are pretty close to perfect. so if these people are looking for some numbers to make up a set to be 'matching' they can get em from the forums.

Which I think is why some people are scared to post the numbers online.

that is exactly why and the vin in question starts with 81837 so you can understand the paranoia

I agree there is paranoia, but why (unless they were totally stupid) would someone copy an existing car? Surely they'd take the punt and just adjust the numbers a few either way and hopefully end up with unique numbers?

agreed totally , if i was going to get a set made , why oh why would i use a number set that is on the net
so in fact i believe , by posting my 81837 numbers up on here not long ago will protect it form being copied , as a accurate google search will show the listing
