haha only having ya on man.myne hasnt got a firewall tag ???

lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

the mrs doesent either,where is your tag gasgulzer?passengers side strut tower

yea thats where myne is but its missing half the info. i think it only has the vin no from memory

yeh the NZ made vl had the tag by the strut on p/s dosent look anything like the aus tags,danny the calais should have a firewall tag unless it has got new vin

Aussie cars will have a full build tag, with engine, trans, axle, trim and paint codes on it. It is natural coloured ( ie not painted) Above will be a tag with the full VIN on it. On the LH shock tower will be a number starting in AVL or BVL, in addtion to this, some cars will have the broadcast sheet in the passengers or drivers footwell, sometimes both. Kiwi assembled VL's only have a small painted tag below the shock tower with the VIN, and the serial number, options are not stamped on the plate.

that answers some of my questions,cheers man next question is on the the rego on the mrs car says its a berlina.but it clearly is a calais with full calais interior.electric windows and mirrors .rear headrests and mounts etc.weird???

but calais are aus built

Sorry Danny but id say its a Faker.

Danny does the Mrs Car have the VIN tag...? If so check this Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nothing wrong with a fake anyway A fake Calais is better than an SL or Berlina I'd only bother converting a wagon though. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

na it dosnt have a tag like that,iv checked it,but how can it have headrest mountings standard and a standard alarm??

Strange... How about the main Body Tag? Calais will say "X19" whereas Berlina will say "L19" Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
