Not sure about 'vin plate' The chassis number / car number is stamped on the end of the RH (driver's side) rear suspension mount - normally you can see this without taking the wheel off - yes, it's there under all that gunk.

Hope this helps

Engine number is on the front of the engine. Kinda where the gearbox & engine join. It's lower than the turbo on the right hand side and almost obscured by one of the ridgid 'lines' that connect to the turbo. The number itself is stamped vertically, on a 'thin' piece of the casting i.e it's no more than 5 to 10mm wide.

Owwww and it will be covered in crud, but with a good 'clean' it's actually quite easy to read. Owwww if you have a N/A it's even easier i.e no turbo to get in the way.

if you want to get real tricky, I noticed the doors also have a VIN plate stuck to the bottom of them--straight in the bottom by the weatherstripping where all the gunk collects 8)
