As we all know the vehicle identification plate is fixed a bit to the left on top of the firewall. Above the vehicle identification plate the plate with the body number is mounted.
I would like to know if anyone can tell me how these plates originally were attached to the firewall, with screws or riveted. I would like to know this because my car has to be approved by the Dutch
Agency for Road Traffic and they claim that the vehicle identification plate was removed during the restoration process (re-spraying of the car) and therefore the originality of the car can not be determined anymore.
If these plates originally were fixed with screws this argument of the Road Traffic Agency does not hold because with screws you never can tell if a plate was removed or not.
I hope someone can help me with this question so I can refute the arguments of the Road Traffic Agency.
