gery market ur -q

[Bob]

I would think there wouldnt be any VIN on the A pillar if it were euro. The ZZZ is
the chassis number on the firewall, and the US modified that to make a VIN and put
it on the A pillar. It would have something there only if it were intended for the
US market. My Euro UrQ does not have anything at all on the A pillar.
