No Im pretty sure you cant. in the mid 90's a friend had an imp blue Escos that was on a Q plate and he asked the question about putting a private plate on it and was told he couldnt.

no way of ever changing the q status apart from export it for a year or so then re import it back to here and re register. It can cd that way
