I bought a MK5 Golf 3 weeks ago now, still no V5 through yet...they said 4-6 weeks, so you did well to get t so quick

I have purchased 2 cars recently and sold one with a plate transfer and the V5 was return for all 3 transactions within 5 days!!!!

Morning. I've bought a mk5 gti on nothern Irish plates (registered by a vw dealer in   enniskillen in 2005) the car came over to the UK in 2008. How easy is it to change the plate to a 55/05?
Thanks

Hi.
I purchased my last car an edition 30 from N Ireland. It was first registered in Gloucester then the guy I bought it from picked it up. When I bought it the NI plates were on and I wanted the original 57 plate as registered by VW Gloucester. I got a strict NO from wahtever the DVLA is over there.
Once plated up NI you are stuck with it.. The bonus.. It was'nt a BAZ FAZ CAZ etc etc.

What's the plate? If you don't mind puttin on here? If not pm me it...seems a faff but if you put it on retention, they will issue another age related plate, which maybe the original, I only ask what it is, as I might be interested for my Cabrio
