Like most cars under RAWS, my compliance tag is in the engine bay, and after a few years of heat & cleaning my engine bay, i am faced with the sticker lifting, which i am worried may just fly out under the car.

can they be re-issued? i was just wondering how you would go if you wanted to repaint ur engine bay or the like. My car isn't as stock as when it was complied, do i have to revert it to stock and meet RAWS full requirements and apply to the DOTARS for a re-issue???

If anyone can help i would appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!

Please if anyone knows the black & white answer please PM me.

I will take a pic of it later, it has just been getting worse since it started to lift.

A reissue is a lot of work. You should contact your original compliance workshop to see if they'll help you out. You MIGHT be able to do this yourself with DOTARS, but it'll also be a lot of work.

We put all our plates in the passenger door pillar for this very reason. I thought most other workshops do this as well, but since I don't use other workshops to comply cars, I guess that was just an assumption.

Anyways, I'd start by calling DOTARS to talk to them, since this is definitely not the first time this has happened, and post here what they tell you, since I'm sure other people would like to know as well....oh yeah, and for people out there, ask your compliance workshop to put the plate on the passenger door pillar, since it's fine to do this as long as it's on the paperwork that way.

cheers,

you can get a new one if you are lucky

you will have to get contact dotars , explain to them the situation . take lots of photos , even get a stat dec from a panel beater or engineer anything that might help convince them your not trying to do anything dodgy

easiest thing to do is just stick your old one back down with some hardcore glue

dotars changed the determination to move the compliance plate location from the engine bay to the door pillar a while ago , older imports will have them in the engine bay , its nothing to do with your particular compliance workshop . it was more to do with accident damage and rebirthing than deterioration that they moved it
