Gents, Hope everyone is well and keeping safe. My vehicle (2001 XJR) is in the paint shop getting some much needed attention. Whilst it was in there I also took the opportunity to have the front windshield replaced as it was cracked. The problem at hand is that the windshield company also took the VIN# sticker from the vehicle and and have managed to dispose the damage windshield. I have located a company in Vegas that will laser etch and replicate the front VIN# plate.

My big request, can someone please carefully measure the front viewable opening area and also attach a picture? I don't have access to any XJR's or other X308 locally hence seeking your assistance.
With the precise measurements and the picture, I will have the ability to have it replicated. Attaching a picture I found on the web, but it is only partial and would like a full shot so it can be replicated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Best I could get real quick, this is with aftermarket glass so it's not perfectly centered but eh close enough

 

@ nilanium - Many thanks for you help with this. ​​​​​​​

I am getting the OEM replacement. I am good on the replication bit just need the horizontal and vertical measurement for the 'OEM viewable opening'. Would sincerely appreciate if some one can post a response. I am also trying a local member to get this sorted.

 

I measure the opening in the blacked out area on my '03 OEM windshield at about 9.5cm horizontally and 2 cm vertically.

 

Many thanks Eliot. I am pursuing my order now. Definitely would be in a fix without this wonderful forum.
