they might not let you do that with it being a UK plate now. only way round it would be pay a few extra quid and buy the number back.

you will have the £80 transfer fee anyway and cheapest irish number is about £35

the irish number plate is permantly attached to the car it carnt be removed from the log book.
under the new reg number there is a box in it say this vehicle was previously registerd as ...blah de blah and this cannot be removed from this document.
the number is not in use as ive checked on Askmid,
ithink its still tied in with the car might be just acase of dvla swapping it back ihopes

[Gary406]

probably just have the handling fee of 80 quid lozz

[Gary406]

it has changed mate. reg numbers are no longer done over the counter

i did mine a few months ago at trafford office. you leave them all your docs there and they send them back in post.

well been busy today getting the bood badge ready for the new resin decal.

i removed the old badge (this is metal) and its left a nice area for the new badge to sit in



all the old glue removed and cleaned up



the back cleaned up and a new seal fitted that i got from dealers

[Gary406]

fitted back on car ready for resin badge

i will be sticking my new badge on with contact adhesive. both surfaces need glueing with this stuff then allowing to dry. once dry they stick to each other like no 2moro



this is the stuff. its brilliant

[Gary406]

boot badge arrived this morning ..

i'm gonna use a contact adhesive rather than stick it on with its own sticky bit.

the red badge looks smart mate
