Be careful removing them, you can badly damage them or the body. Also some cars have none, one or two tags painted body colour. so in some cases you might want some back on before the paint goes on.Originally Posted by Gaddy
Im surprised the tags are still on! Get em off and tucked away SAFELY and somewhere you will remember!
This will avoid them getting stolen, damaged or painted.
There is a thread on here somewhere about cleaning tags so check that out aswell.
Took alot of care and all three came off without incident. I'm certain they have never been off the body before. How would I know about the paint on them? If there ever was any. They don't show signs of being painted, ie no scratch or scuff marks, just the usual dirt/dust etc.

Being a Dandenong assembled HX van it will have an Elizabeth body and hence will have all 3 x tags naked. If it was a ute the BODY plate would be painted. While they are off look on the back of the ADR plate and you'll find 4 x numbers lightly engraved into the back. This will match the last 4 x dights of the PSN ie 0451. This will tell you the ADR and VIN plates belong together.
Byron,
What was Acacia Ridge? Nude or paint?
Depends. HZ was painted BODY and VIN. I'll have to check the others for certain but from memory though HJ-HX were painted BODY and VIN and HQ was painted BODY only.
That certainly aligns with my HQ, it is Acacia Ridge and only the body tag is painted, other 2 are naked.
Classic! i just checked a set. Looks like the number is written on the back with a ball point pen??
Yes, that is normally the case for Acacia Ridge tags, and they used the last 2 x digits of the PSN. I'll have to check all my Dandenong and Pagewood tags to check their method, however I think they are inconsistent.
