Manufacturers change dashes and floors partway through a model, so we list every part by build date. Here's how to find yours.
Build plate
The build plate is fitted at the factory and shows the month and year the vehicle was built. It's usually on the firewall in the engine bay.
Compliance plate
The compliance plate shows when the vehicle was certified for Australian roads. Look in the engine bay, on a door pillar or in the footwell. Imported vehicles often have a pink or yellow plate in the door jamb.
The build date and compliance date can be months apart, especially for vehicles built overseas. Use the build date when you choose a part.
Vehicles built from July 2021
Newer vehicles don't need a compliance plate. Their details are on the government's Register of Approved Vehicles, which you can search by VIN.
