Hi Kack

Daft question time.

Living in Northern Ireland why doesnt your car have Irish plates, yours look like standard UK plates.

Annother member, V6drift I believe is modifying his Miggy with loads of ICE, will be interesting to see how that developes as well.

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom thus the vehicle is displaying the correct plates - whether registered there or (originally) here on the mainland.

Registration numbers issued by the DVL (NI) in recent times will have a combination of three letters and up to four figures.

Vehicles registered in the Republic Of Ireland have a totally different style of plate and letter/number combination.

If memory serves Andy it's black characters on a white backround where the vehicle year of registration is placed first (two digits) then the registration area (two letters) followed lastly by three letters.

The letter Z does indeed figure quite a lot in their registration process.

I was incorrect however regarding the final part of the new plates, rather than the three letters I mentioned this element actually is composed of five digits.
