I’ve got a private plate on mines and it was easy peasy
regarding having one that means something to you part , when I spoke to them on the phone they asked , I gave them my reason and that was that
you could have G because your old grand name began with G or H because your first pets make began with H
its very simple ?? Not like they can say no it isn’t lol
as long as what you tell them makes sense then you’re golden ?
I had it on my previous car and collected my current car in July, I told the dealer I wanted the private one on the new car , being the helpful soul that he is , he did all the necessary actions , then he called me the day before the collection date and I paid the £80 over the phone for the DVLA transfer
when I collected my car a day later it was all ready to go with my private fitted free of charge
was strange seeing the 2 cars parked next to each other with the same plates on
they handled the making up and fitting of the original 16 plate ??
absolutely no hassle at all mate
