if its a brand new shell ya can have the plate transfered over based on the points system
the brand new cossie wasnt a cosie as such as they only made a certain amount and if all could buy a shell and call it a cossie then whats to stop ya calling it a 1,l replica
its not a genuine cossie and as such the rsoc should not recognise it, but for some reaosn they do
either way if ya want the old plate on follow the points sytem or just dont tell em if the shells new and not been registered and has no id, then they cant Q plate it where the other way there is a risk they can
good luck either way
