everyone seems to add there cut and also 'transfer fee's' which dvla included in the price

worked out at -

£145 for the plate
£80 assignment fee
£25 vat

it annoys me cus most reg sites dont own the plates they advertised, they just know dvla have them so the advertise them for almost double there value and make stupid ammounts of profit! grrrr lol

i know that mate but to get a dvla reg transferred over here it has to be put on a car in the mainland uk and then the car has to be "imported" to northern ireland and then the plate transferred, thats why the cost is so high to get them over here.

Scottie: I did it the other way round, took a NI plate and put it on my Coop. Cost £234 including the plates themselves. Didn't think that was too shabby! Would it be much more to go the other way?

well i was looking at S88 RDS, and the plate was on "special offer" at £269 and i emailed the company and said about transferring it to N.I and they said not a problem but it would cost me £550 all in to get it on my car in N.I, was looking at S88 as my uncle has S88 DES on his 730d and my initials are R.D.Scott but my ultimate plate would be
R5COT but i think it will be a fortune.

have you a 3 digit N.I plate or what?

you guys go for N.I plates to be different, we all go for "english" plates to be different, lol
