Sorry for the hijack but when you have visited your local DVLA office to register the private plate on your car do you have to instantly put the new number plate on? Or can you drive off and go to get the plate made after?
You have a certain amount of time to put the new number on....48 hours or something.
DVLA will give you a new tax disc showing the new reg, however let them know ifyou haven't got them made up yet and they will let you keep your old disc until you replace your plates. (you will have to post the old disc back to them).
Just remember that your tax idsc must match your plates! Dont forget to tell the insure either
