Private plate on at last

Almost 6 months after the new Kodiaq was delivered to my door in a mad rush when Lockdown kicked in late March.

The VWFS department responsible for private plate swaps simply shut down for a while, so I prompted them in July for an idea of timing since they'd had my V778 for a long time.

Today I received an email saying "find attached your assignment confirmation", reminding me that phone lines are still closed.

Attached was a memo from Fleet Personalised Number Plate team to VW Cherished at BCA - who clearly are the ones pressing the buttons at DVLA when they have the V5 and V778 forms in front of them. I know it takes a couple of minutes.

Why was I not surprised to hear anything at all, but was smart enough to interrogate the DVLA system for vehicle tax and/or MOT history - lo and behold - out with the old and in with the new plates.

At last, my Kodiaq has quietly shed it's original 20 plate and is registered with my personal plate.

A few minutes work saw me stick the waiting plates onto the car.

Looks so much better with the horrible screwed on dealer-logo'd plates removed and my shorter plates stuck on neatly.

I wonder if VWFS will get round to letting me know 

ps - I've rarely seen number plates drilled (butchered) and screwed on so badly.
