Hello Sunbeams. Filling in this years membership renewal caused me to have a good look at my Body Number Plate on the bonnet slam panel of my Series 3. It's almost unreadable because of paint, and the area immediately around it was clearly not prepared (for paint) to the same standard as the surrounding panel. Question: Was the Body Number Plate bare metal or body colour when it left the factory?
In order to avoid this post immediately dating, [insert appropriate seasonal greeting].
The VIN plate is the larger one on the right (I think it should technically be on the left) and then you have the smaller ID tag that you can see on the left hand side.
