    Ordered last Friday.
    Received the certificate of entitlement today (Thursday) so that's 4 working days.
    I'll be off to Halfords for the plates this evening after work.

    Collected the car last Friday (30th) and the V5 arrived today so I went straight online to switch over the plates from the original age-related registration to the Personalised Registration - very quick and simple process :)
    I expect the updated V5 will arrive middle of next week.
