No. If you change anything from original it not original anymore. changing tags is highly illegal too. if you want a different colour, repaint go to the licence bureau and change the ownership. only legal way, but its not original. clear as mud.

why not just have a new tag made with all the cars original codes, and just chage the color code to the "new ones?" check hemming motor news,there are company`s that make new data tags

         I agree!   Build it for you!  Tell the next guy, (if there ever is a next guy) that you changed it.. My personel thought is that, the color combo you mention is someting, you would see at that time   Pet Peeve #82 of mine is a old car painted a new color.  Like a Pontiac Strato CHief being painted a rare Honda/Toyota color twocents.gif

Just change it to what you want and do not worry about anyone's opinion. A Trim Tag paint code difference is NOT going to make a significant if any amount of price difference. The only one who will care is a Concours de Elegance judge. Do you plan on showing it in those kind of shows? Not likely so paint it your choice. That is a nice colour combo by the way!

I'm doing the same change myself for mine, changing color, and anyway, anything you do on it, it will be original once....
