I am replacing the dashboard in my Mk3 Golf because some crackhead broke into it and stole my ollllllddddd CD player and trashed the dash on an immaculate black leather interior'ed Mk3. So I got a new dash in perfect shape off Vortex.

I'm ready to install the new dash (old one was a treat to remove) and I noticed that the VIN plate is on the dashboard. So when I put in the *new* used dash it will have the wrong VIN on it. The vin tag is held down by two standard old pop rivets. Easily drilled out and I have a rivet gun so I can re-affix the original one.

Is there anything wrong or illegal about removing and re-installing a vin plate? The one on the dash is the main one so I assume it would cause more problems to leave on the wrong one.

I was going to hold onto the VIN plate that came off the new dash and put it in the glovebox if someone ever needed to know where it came from.
