Hi Guys,
Bit of a newb question I’m afraid.
I’m taking my frame for powder coating and have removed the metal frame number plate that is riveted to the subframe.
However, can I just remove and throw away the paper frame number stickers either side of the headstock. One has E13 78R 011804 on it and the other sticker has E9 10R 01695 on it.
I don’t want to chuck them then find out it invalidates my frame or anything drastic!!!
Cheers in advance
Jim

Yes just bin them but take a picture of them
You can get replacements but only really if you are doing a concourse restoration

And even the metal plate is not a requirement, just the VIN that’s stamped into the headstock being clearly legible is needed. Make sure that’s masked off or very lightly coated .

Cheers guys, that’s good news. I had visions of me trying to superglue tatty old stickers onto my freshly powder coated frame!!
Good point on the stamped vin number as well 👍

Be careful of that depending on where you live and also where you might sell to. It is required in some countries, that's why its fitted. |

Thankfully not needed in the U.K. as someone had removed the one on my recent F2. I know you can get replacements, but @ £40 I can’t see the point. Jon |

Its just something for those of us who need these to be fitted need to be aware of when importing I guess.
