A VIN identifies your individual car, usually with 17 letters and digits. A manager uses it to check the vehicle version before selecting a part.
Common places to find a VIN
Below the windscreen: look from outside
In a door opening: a plate or sticker
In registration papers: VIN / chassis number
What to do, step by step
Check the papers or vehicle plate
Location varies by model. Start with the registration papers, then check the lower windscreen edge or door opening. Your owner's manual gives the exact location.
Copy only the VIN
Use the VIN field in the request, not product search. Standard VINs do not contain I, O or Q. A full document photo is unnecessary: cover names, addresses and other personal information.
Say which part you need
For example: 'I need a front left headlight.' Add a photo if available. A manager checks the version, price and availability; the site does not yet have automatic VIN decoding.
More detail and common mistakes
- Copy the 17 characters from the vehicle or documents. Standard VINs exclude I, O and Q. Do not publish the entire document: the number and vehicle details are sufficient.
- Add the part name, side, production year and known OEM number. For a bumper or headlight, describe sensors, cameras and connectors.
- Leave a contact and wait for fitment and order terms to be confirmed. If the vehicle uses a different identifier format, put it in the request description instead of the VIN field.
