Project vehicles in My Winter Car not only differ in their condition from ready-to-drive cars, but they also have a unique VIN that you can decode and get extra information.
The VIN appears to be only applicable for vehicles that are missing parts. It’s the Corris Rivett in the current build of the game, and you can find the VIN on its chassis. The same pattern could follow all future project cars that will be added in updates.
Here’s how you can use the VIN once you’ve figured it out.
How to find the VIN in My Winter Car
As mentioned above, you’ll need the open chassis of a vehicle to find out its VIN. It’s located on top of the right-side front headlight. It appears as a tiny sticker with a bunch of information on it.
The difficulty arises when you try to decode the information. There’s no possible way of decoding the VIN from directly inside My Winter Car. Thankfully, there are a few community-created solutions to mitigate the problem.
How to decode the VIN in My Winter Car
The VIN consists of a sequence of letters and numbers. The VIN will be unique for every vehicle, and differ across saves. You’ll need to put the code into a decoder, and you can use third-party options like My Winter Car Database.
Enter the code into the decoder, and you’ll get the complete set of specifications related to the car. This will also include every detail about the car parts and how they would look in mint condition.
While decoding the VIN is fine, it’s largely a novelty. While the VIN of a car is unique, you don’t necessarily have to use matching parts. You can easily use parts with different VINs to complete the Corris Rivett. However, using parts with a specific VIN will help you get that industry-grade mint finish on your car once it’s completely assembled.
