CSL replica plaque

[Neil M]

With 'Mark CSL' doing his CF trims and the plaque looking like a stuck on afterthought I considered a personalised graphic, which could be embedded in the CF lacquer, this is mine in the style of the GTS where it wasn't an afterthought, any thoughts gentlemen?

Correction: July not June as illustrated

[gazzzar]

For mine I made a sticker, it is very similar like Neil's one. My idea comes again from the GTS If there is somebody who wants the same like mine I will check the price and the shipping from Bulgaria to UK

Ha, ha, "Great minds think alike" or so they say - great job Viktor.
However the UK cars are not quite that simple, as they do not have numbers assigned, just 1 of 422 Units and the production date: 01.07.03 - 31.12.03.

It would take time to establish what number the car was, from the build data.
Mine was manufactured in the first production batch JC98021 - JC98117 so was relatively simple.

[gazzzar]

Hehe, you are absolutely right for the great minds . I think that The UK cars starts from JC98000 and ends to JC98422, the last three digits are the serial number of the car so it is not so hard to find the serial number

were the 1st batch special ? mine is an early number car too

If you PM me your chassis No (last 7 digits I can tell you) which batch and Number.
First production batch, noting particularly special, other than they were the first ordered by potential owners who were prepared to pay the asking price, the committed enthusiasts and collectors.

Its not as easy as that I'm afraid,apparently they didnt come off the production line in the same order as the vin numbers.Others have tried and failed because of this.

Steve your car is from the November 03 production run. However the actual number is not as simple as "oh so yours is 482" as you might think, it's a little harder to establish as the production cars started at JC98021 and are not necessarily consecutive eg. there are five missing chassis numbers between August and September. Just need more numbers to corroborate the existing information

There is also an anomaly, in that the plaque says 422n UK Units but the build data suggests a total production of 517, that figure does not include the 7 pre-poduction models the first of which was numbered JC98001 and ended with 012.

What's the last 3 digits of your number Bounce?
