it's had a new paint job and im guessing who ever painted it either bogged over it or got rid of it for some reason. is it anywhere else on the car or is that the only place it could be?

vin no is on the left side shock tower between guard and shock....

Compliance plate will have the vin on it as well and these are also on the left side of the engine bay in the gutter running beside the left guard. There should be two plates on the inner left guard in the rain gutter next to the guard.

best bet would be to find another xf to see vin location and then attacking yours with sand paper to expose it again as no vin could = stolen and hassles if pulled over.
