JCW Tuning Tag 2004

Just realized that the shop I have the car serviced changed out the cover with the added on JCW Tuning Tag & Serial Number plaque. Does anyone know if you can get a replacement tag, as I have a photo with the Serial Number? Thanks, Bill

I would immediately contact the shop and try to get it back!

Did they change out the entire valve cover or something? Hopefully they didn't throw away your original and still have it. I would be in riot mode if it was my car and go rampage crazy on anger tantrum!

I'm not sure if there's a part number where you can order one, but someone may know if there is?

I have seen the paper certificates being sold complete with rocker plaque but unsure if these are still available?

Or if that is how it could be ordered separate from the complete kit?

part number: 71127559118

example:




There are reproductions out there,
but you can usually tell that they're reproductions.

I would try my damnedest to get back the original valve cover though!

Can't believe the shop didn't notice the difference and didn't consult you before they swapped it out.
