CORRADO VIN NUMBER, SHOULD THEY BE LIKE THIS??

First post so be kind.

 

I've been looking for a corrado g60 for months now, ones come up 10 owners, 119k, only problem is with indicators staying on passengers side, and have been told this could be a faulty relay (number 21), or car alarm relay has stayed open, so not a big problem car looks solid with no rust and has had a bigger brake conversion. The only thing that strikes me as strange and is putting me off is the vin number stamped on the scuttle pan under the window wipers is a different color (BLACK) to the car (bordeaux red). Is this right or am i buying two cars for the price of one :lol:

 

Any help on this would be appreciated. He's looking for £1800 and there is no history on the charger which i know is expensive to get them overhauled.

 

Thanks

Check the chassis plate inside the offside wing behind the headlight and the sticker in the boot, which should have the engine code and the optional extras on it.

Sounds like he could have put the horn wire into the indicator. Give the horn a go.
