Don't really understand above plates problem - I have on order a Q3 and wanedmy current vehicle's (personal plates )put on it. I merely paid £DVLA 125 for the retention of my plates. Within 2 days I received a new tax disc with a new reg number for my existing car, Also received the relevant document allolwing me to remove my personal plates and have new reg plates made and fitted. Took the form to the Audi dealer who is now ina position to make, fit plates and tax vehicle.Really good service from DVLA.Mal
