Doh!.....cheers ESCYSCOTT but i cant grumble though in my eyes its perfect for the car and only cost me Ł250 all in, transfer fee VAT the lot
theres loads more on there, i was tempted to M999 RSC also Ł250 theres quite a few still on there
Not bought a plate before hope its straight forward once the forms arrive

Really easy to transfer. Either take the relevent forms to your local DVLA office and they'll do it there and then for you. Or you can post it to your local office, it says turnaround is 2-3 weeks but i've never waited more than a week before it was back to me.

No worries, even if you do get stuck, on the DVLA website there is a step by step guide which finds your local office ect and guides you through the form..
All you need to do is fill in a couple of lines of a form and send off with your MOT, Insurance Certificate and V5.
Piss easy!

Firstly congrats on buying yourself for the cos
Now i dont mean to be rude, seeing as everyone else is saying well done and nice mate. But why did you buy that plate?? Suirely not because it says RSC

I gotta agree with you too mate the "COS" plates are a bit on the expensive side.

i agree, if you want any spacing doing martin, or even just good plain
number plates (small fornt etc)
try www.fancyplates.com
thats where i get all mine from, no paperwork and they dont get water stained like the ones you buy at shows which never get sealed properly,
plus, they are completely plain which is how i like them

yeah i know the stuff you mean mate. Well mine are stuck solid with the sticky tabs i used. I think ill have a job taking them off!!!
Mine dont need to come off for mot time though as there fully legal size letters with proper spacing. Police seem to be very strict round here with fancy plates.
