UK car in Spain

Legally...?? 6 months 

Must be registered in Spain if you get or have Residencia

Hi ..Any idea of the cost of changing a Brit motor over to Spanish plates ?

Probably be around €1500 which would include headlight change. Rough guideline

It may also need alterations to the rear fog lights.

If it has 2 you are OK if it has only 1 it may be on the wrong side.

Do you need to replace the headlamps or would headlamp deflectors be ok to drive and pass the ITV.

Deflectors ( beam benders or whatever ) cannot be used to pass an ITV test.

You will have to replace the headlamp units not just the bulbs.

Could be very expensive on some cars. 

It might mean the costs of re registering are more than the value of your car !!

Hi 

Firstly I thought that sounded expensive , then I looked at the price of second hand cars in Spain and they are so expensive , it is worth doing the conversion .

How much is a brand new car in Spain? Something small like a Corsa or KA?

Might make more sense to buy a new one under warranty than risk a old sand blasted,sun bleached rust bucket!
