The middle digit is the coachbuilder: 8 = Karmann, 9 = Porsche.

The last digit is the paint manufacturer. On 901 / 911 series cars: 1 = Lesonal, 2 = Glasurit, 3 = Herbol and 4 = Standox.
'72 T 210 2176 (ex-Hawaii donor car for '72 M491 2.5 SR)
'72 S 230 0347 (two-owner tangerine unicorn)

What do people think is the best way to remove the old tag - punch the rivets and drill them out or grind heads off and punch through?

My tag states 334-9-3.

334 is met blau. Anyone know what the 9-3 means?

:bounce:
Someone here used a Dremmel to put/file a line through the head, then used a flat bladed screw driver to just unscrew them

Found the thread as below

My word, the screws that come with new tags are tiny!

Just posting a pic of my original tag here for John's reference since I cannot seem to PM it....
