Hello, first of all congrats on a great Irish car website. It seems that the system of registering a imported used car has changed since late last year. It is now easy to spot imported Dublin registered cars because the plate starts at 120,000 upwards.

I've just seen the 2013 price list on BMW's website. In the last few days, BMW has changed the VRT rates on its car configurator from the current rates, to what I presume must be the new anticipated rates. Band A and B appear split and have risen a lot. Prices have obviously risen as a result. Does BMW have information nobody else has or is it just taking a chance based on rumours from the Department of Finance? Do you have any knowledge of this?

Can the rear view reversing camera be retrofitted to a MK6 Volkswagen Golf Edition-R? If so how much would it cost?
