Anyway cars from the NI are covered by our own plate rules so you should be able to just get a vanity plate or transfer one from another car if you so wish as long as it's not a Q or NIQ plate
All I did when I brought my car from Belgium was have it checked for EU conformity, change over the headlights, MOT test and then DVLA for a registration form. The local office is gone now, so I suspect you have to do it by post/online now.
NI plates should be legal here AFAIK, as they are part of the Uited Kingdom?
Vehicles moving between GB and Northern Ireland (NI)
Vehicles registered in NI that move to GB are no longer classed as being imported to GB. Also, vehicles registered in GB moving to NI are no longer classed as being imported to NI.
These vehicles can keep their GB or NI plates and tax disc, or they can request the registration plate to where they are going, GB or NI.
The vehicle registration certificate Northern Ireland (V5CNI) should be used to aid registration in GB and applications should be made at a DVLA local office. The vehicle registration certificate (V5C) should be used to help registration in NI. Applications should be made at The Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA), Coleraine.
