Lost the bloody V5

[Phooey]

Now that I've changed the colour on my bike I need to update the V5 but I can't find it. Does that mean I'll have to pay £25 to get a new one?

Yup, unless you separated log book and can find the green slip (v5c2 )

[Phooey]

I still have from previous owner. Could I use that?

the green slip is only valid for 16 weeks with dvla after that its cough up the money for new one

Hmmm, not sure, it will probably have a different reference number on it, you can apply online, just try it, it can only say no

Has it been painted, or wrapped? The latter doesn't need to be notified as it's not a permanent change.

If no other info has changed, request a duplicate. This costs nothing. Then you can send that away to change the colour.

If you have changed address however, £25 charge. I just has to pay to get one for my car. Very annoying as I didn't lose it, it never arrived from them when I changed address!

That's the problem BOGOF. It has been wrapped but initially I was going to have it hydrodipped and the twat who had the fairings for three months sprayed them all black (well, if what he did constitutes spraying) and then I got them wrapped.

So the original colours are no longer there.
