My 172 - The Beginning

[Tigger]

Following on from when I first got this car in December, I wanted some better photos of it before I started to change anything apart from my N.Ire plates

NI plates on and all papers sorted out - pheew!

I met bucky776 later that night in the bloody snow to buy a Cup Spoiler
We were down to 30mph on the motorway for about 20 miles - must have been worth it!
At least I know from then that my ESP was working lol

After a good wash... some proud shots :approve:

Had a go at some arty ones...

That's the style of the N.Ire reg
Plates are of the legal requirements.

I have seen a plate I would like to get, with french pressed plates
not sure if they are legal or not though :S

 

[rosssei]

french plates def not legal trev, unless your in france

sportlines are here for you ready to be put on sent ya a msg

 

[Christopher]

you mean style font or 3 letters 4 numbers?

the format...

ie. DKZ 9857

can you not register and use a car with the normal format... such as MK52 etc

 

[Ali]

Always hated the irish style'd plates!

Lookin good tho, lower it a good bit! Leave the speedlines on!!!! gunmetal rims are 2004

 

[Davey C]

nope thats mainland stylee, northern irish is as you say

we can have english plates no problem, you just have to register the car as an import from "GB Mainland" but the plate is no problem.

dunno how the english plates work, but here they all go in series, depending on which tax office the number was registered from, Belfast (*EZ), Downpatrick(*JZ), Omagh(something else) etc they all go in series starting at A through to Y i think and this shows where and roughyl how old the car is! though you may already know this, im pretty sure thats how it works!

i re registered my car from SA51 *** to MJZ **** as it was done in downpatrick but makes the car look like an 07 car which is obv aint. just how it is!

as for comment on irish styled plates...the southern plates are completely different.

"07 d 1111" or soemthing would mean its 07 car registered in dublin, as denoted by the D. Other counties have their own letters, usually the first and last letter of the county name IE Wicklow would be WW and Louth LH and Cork CK etc!

ill shut up now trev
