If i were to buy a number plate on a retention certificate what would it then cost me to put it on my car?

Well can i recomend halfords 1mm number plate adhesive. Works a treat and is only £1.69 or £1.96 cant remember.

Double sided tape is wank

however ive used the double sided tape as opposed to screws :)

cheers doug, thanks for the constructive advice!

Un-screw them and then screw them back onto your new car?

cheers guys, lookin @ a car on sat but ave had an offer for my car already. what do you all reckon i should do?

Fee to retain is £25, the other £80 is assignment fee which is paid in advance of it going on another vehicle.

If you want to retain get a V778/1.

If you have another vehicle to put the reg on to use a V317 instead, cost will only be £80 as you don't need to retain in the mean time.

Both forms are available from VRO offices or most main post offices.

did mine last month, jus sittin here with no car to go on :( poor me, diddums

£105 thats a lot of money!! thought itld b a lot cheaper! cheers icy

You'd have to contact DVLA and get them to do it, tell them you want to keep the plate on retention until you have another car to transfer to. Note that transfer costs are around £80.

Hope this helps ;)
