Where is the VIN number in FIAT 500 ((332) [2020-2020])?

This guide covers the VIN number locations on the FIAT 500 (332) produced between 2020–2020, with the most reliable chassis-stamped VIN listed first.

Chassis Number Locations

Passenger Floor (Stamped Chassis VIN under “VIN” flap)

• Where to look: In the front footwell floor, under the carpet in front of the seat. Look for a pre-cut rectangular plastic access flap labeled “VIN”—lift/pull that flap to reveal the VIN stamped into the metal floor pan underneath.
• Access: It’s dark and recessed, so you’ll usually need a flashlight and a steady camera angle to focus on the stamp. No tools required—just pry/lift the plastic flap.
• Note: On many LHD cars this is commonly on the passenger side, but if you don’t find it there, check the driver-side front footwell as well.
• Tip: Because this spot is shadowy and hard to focus on, use your phone light and scan the stamped VIN with Flashlight + OCR instead of trying to write it down in the footwell.

Windshield (Lower Corner / Dash VIN plate)

• Where to look: Viewed through the windshield, at the very bottom corner where the glass meets the dashboard, typically on the driver’s side on LHD vehicles. The VIN is printed on a plate.
• Access: Easy to reach, but visibility can be affected by glare/reflections and water droplets on the glass.
• Note: Best checked from outside the car in daylight, then adjust your viewing angle to reduce reflections.
• Tip: If glare makes characters hard to read, capture it instantly with the VIN scanner so you don’t transpose letters/numbers.

Engine Bay (Right-side strut tower / inner fender sticker)

• Where to look: Open the hood and check the right side of the engine bay (passenger side on LHD). Look on the strut tower/inner fender wall for a black sticker with white text, near the coolant expansion tank and shock mount area.
• Access: Often partially obstructed by hoses/AC lines and can be dirty, so you may need to reposition your phone and wipe the surface.
• Note: Stickers are useful, but the stamped floor VIN is typically the primary legal identifier.
• Tip: If grime or tight angles make the label hard to read, use High Contrast scanning to pick out faded characters without fighting the engine-bay lighting.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Windshield glare/reflections: Change your viewing angle, wipe the glass, and avoid direct sunlight reflecting off the dash plate.
• Footwell VIN too dark to photograph: Use a flashlight, hold the camera steady, and shoot straight down into the recess after lifting the “VIN” flap.
• Sticker vs. stamped VIN mismatch: Stickers can be replaced—always cross-check against the stamped chassis VIN before buying or registering the vehicle.
