Re: Paint ID code plate
Curious what type of rivets are used on these? I have one from Stoddard and the rivets are not something my std pop rivet gun can take?

I think Davep will be along to confirm that his evidence to date points to foil stickers for MY70 cars but as with all things Porsche there might be exceptions. The first exception is Karmann built cars, the second exception is it might not be all of the 70MY (August-July) cars, it might not be all T E and S models, it might not apply to all RHD cars and yours might have been changed in the past to a different type.
Anything is possible I suppose but most are foil.
Regards
Mike

Re: Paint ID code plate
Ralph - why don't you get a 'custom' paint code sticker/plate ?

I have done a little searching and it appears that a company in Sweden do a plate that is better that the current offering from Porsche, but I was hoping that someone would have a good UK source?

I bought one from here. Haven't fitted it yet but it is good and Ake is a really nice guy. It come with four rivets with a screw thread.
Kind regards

Re: Paint ID code plate
I'd sure like to see that plate and also know the VIN. You can PM or email if you wish.inaglasshouse wrote:Mike,
Confused. Mine was Porsche built, 1970 model, shipped December 1969. Deffo riveted... And 99% certain original, judging by the original paint underneath and the neatness of the rivets.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Richard.
Then I can see how it fits my data.

Re: Paint ID code plate
I went through some old boxes of stuff and found this:
So it appears I have one the same as Richard on my 1970.

Re: Paint ID code plate
I checked my data, and did find that late in the year the Porsche built cars did revert to the riveted paint badge. I guess that the adhesive attached badges fell off quickly, and the factory dropped the idea.
