I've bought myself another lwb shell (cheers Carl)after spending the last year collecting bits for a quick beetle?
I've got an irs pan which unfortunately says saloon. I've read the sticky and a few old posts. I know a std pan will be easier to re-register but don't understand the process, all my other buggies came registered correctly you see.
Do I just send the v5 with a change of details and wait to be inspected? Is this done at vosa as the local dvla place closed. How complete would it need to be?
I know this will have been asked a thousand times just still not clear on the process, sorry.
Will be up to the midland meet in the new year to meet all the locals

Is your start point but makes sure the engine numbers etc match the v5 and change them on the beetle before applying for the build change.
It used to be a quick check the numbers match inspection fot £37 but times change.

Will see you at the MBC one evening

Thanks for that, seems fairly straight forward (that's going to catch me out isn't it!)
Definitely will be along to a meet so yes catch up with you all then
