Does anyone know if it is possible to buy a replacement engine compartment "Weight plate" and/or the door "ID/VIN plate". I know they are both still availible for the Countach, but obviously Jalpa production was much less.

I am currently restoring a Jalpa and would like to purchase some as mine have almost disintigrated. I thought about having some made, but for the sake of originality I suppose it would be nice to have a real Lambo part (i.e. as long as it is not going to cost me an arm and a leg!).

At any rate, I realize this is a "niff sh!$" type of an item, but since I'm fixing the car I'd like it to look good... figured if anyone would know it would be on this board. Thanks for your help!

You might want to get in touch with Ryan...he sells/used to sell all sorts of replica parts including spec plates that you are seeking. The quality is amazing. Give him a try...http://www.newrule.com/badges.html.
