I have smaller ones for mine as well 180mm by 100mm (motorbike size). I have two bits of velcro under my larger plates and when at shows i take off the green road legal ones and put on the show ones. i havent tried to drive around with them on as yet, i think the rozzers may have somthing to say about that. I took o pic of the car on the drive the other day, and when the flash went off you could not see the letters ( may save me a couple of dollars in speed cameras fines as well) as a bonus. will put a pic up when i can find it.

No one know who bought L666 COS then? I'm hoping to find out who bought it from me.

I got an RSC one to replace it with, so I'm with you lol

M.A.D.RST

You dont know who you sold it to??

How come you replaced it with a cheaper one?

Cola

I put it on New Reg years ago and forgot all about it. Last summer they called to say they had a buyer. I panicked so whacked the price up but they didn't fold.

Ended up selling L666COS for £2750 and bought L666RSC for £250. The 2.5k profit went towards some nice new suspension, seats and goodies and towards my house deposit. Thus ensuring I won't have to fall at the house buying hurdle like so many good people before me.

Well worth it I reckon. As so many people told me at the time, a fancy plate doesn't maek him go any faster

cos im worth it

Nice one mate 2.5k for the difference in 3 letters! i would have sold it and bought the RSC one too.

redrsmk5

Cant believe my thread has gone on for this long

Some great plates people have.....wish we all lived in oz, no snow and any plate you want!!!!

MADRST: i am one of the biggest buftys ever but even i draw the line at worrying about a bit of velcro!!

COLA: good lad! nice plate, as quoted previously was well impressed at the number of RSC plates for £250 on DVLA!!!!

RED DEVIL: i live 2 minutes from the MOT station so will swap straight over

ossie cossie

a (COSSIE) down under is a swimming costume i chose COSSY coz it has i less letter in it and so can be put on a smaller plate.

chunny

i dont think he was referring to yours mate

cos im worth it

Hi Martin, Have you got your plate all sorted out yet mate? Martin was it fairly straight forward in the end mate? just bought mine today, ended up getting one of the one's i was talking about before to you, got the M66 RSC one. cant wait to get it on the car (NICE AND SMALL) Ha Ha. not to small just the lettering a little bit smaller and plate length chopped down with only having 2 numbers in it.

Hi Mark

No not sorted it yet, have got the receipt form through from DVLA apparently i now need to send the v5,MOT, and form to my local DVLA office and then at some point they will also want the tax disc sending to them! could take 4- 8 weeks bit long winded TBH!!

Good choice mate! i knew you'd get one

cos im worth it

That sounds a bit of a fart on mate, Tax disc? so what you supposed to do if the plate is going on a car your using? they already have mine back off when i SORN it!

S1rst

I thought you just take all your docs down to the office and they do it all there and then? They stamp your tax disc and mot and send your log book and it comes back with the new reg? I bought a car with a private plate on and the lad changed the plate over the next day and i picked the car up the next day with the the old reg back on, amended tax disc and mot with the log book in the post.

Stoo

You either take it to them via a local office or send it away. You send off your V5, MOT and Receipt, and they all get returned to you along with a new tax disc. They might ask for you to post the old tax disc to them at a later date. It say's up to 8 weeks but i got all my stuff back within a week

S3an

got round to fitting my new ones the other day.

redrsmk5

Im gonna call my nearest DVLA office which is Chester tomorrow to see if they are open on Saturdays and if so take everything to them next weekend if not then i'll post everything from work special delivery......im sure they could sneak onto the special delivery franking machine by accident

K5SSY : they look mint mate!

STOO, S1rst: Many thanks

Cos its worth it: i'll let you know how i get on!

cos im worth it

Thats what i was thinking Martin, defo Recorded Special Delivery mate! that would be my luck for all my docs to get lost by Royal Snail!

I've just been all through this with my reg.Have you got a v750?If so and it has your name on it either as the purchaser or a nominee,they will be able to assign it to your car straight away at your local DVLA office

here is my car at last years telstra rally australia with a few freinds in the RS owners club here in perth WA.

The focus RS belongs to a freind he has not long emigrated here and he brought it with him. as far as i am aware it is the only one in australia.

the plates are so small they wont even fit on the original screw holes in the tailgate so they have to be velcro,d on. The focus has the standard size and type of plate, i think he may be getting a private one soon? The sierra cosworth is another member he bought it from the UK a while ago and had it imported it has been mentioned on here.

He has RS COS on his.
