Default Stopped for speeding?

I was rushing to work and got stopped just past chippenham heading to Bristol.
Copper in a dark blue BMW pulled me over and said he was following me for a few miles and i averaged around 95mph. He commented how good my driving was though!!!
He said as i had a clean license he was gonna put me down for doing under 90mph which is 3 points and £60fine. To be honest it was all my fault so i agreed.
However ive been to the cop shop to hand in my license and ive only got the photo part and lost the paper part.I also realised i didnt update my address details when i moved.I explained this to the girl on the front desk and she said she still has to put down that i "failed to provide my license" even though she phoned someone and got me an extension to give me time to get a new license.
Do i get fined more for this?
Also she told me dont pay the fine until i got my new license and a letter has been sent to me to explain all this.

On another note: my mate said i should say not guilty.He said to explain that i want to see evidence and when it shows me going over 90mph (copper had a tv in his car - but was by himself)to say that the camera in the car must have been faulty coz the copper has only done me for going UNDER 90mph and hence no evidence. My mate also said that the coppers cant do me because there was only one of them and there needs to be two policemen to have me speeding?
I wasnt going to worry about all this but how likely is it that i will get off it because of this?

I was just gonna pay the fine and get a new license and put up with the 3 points.

What do you guys think?
