Take a look at the N332 website. It covers anything to do with driving in Spain and is for English speaking people. The site is run in collaboration with officers of the Guardia Civil and has an English version of the Spanish equivalent of the Highway Code on it. They also have a Facebook page.

I did this some years ago
In the end it cost me in the region of £7000

Headlights had to be changed.
Vehicle had to be re registered.
I paid a third party to deal with this part.
I think I also had to pay tax on the vehicle
I would not do it again and have since scrapped the old girl.
Bureaucracy. In Spain is horrendous. To be avoided at all costs.
Good luck.
Hi Margaret,
7000euros sounds a horrendous amount, I paid nowhere near that much for virtually the same amount of work as you list (except no tax as it was 2019). From memory it was around 1200 euro, that included headlights and rear fog light changed/fitted, by Leigh at Spanish Number Plates
.Rgds,
Aitch.

You were robbed! The price I quoted at the start of this thread is correct and confirmed by Aitch.

Unfortunately since Brexit you will have to pay VAT at 21% on the book value assigned by Customs and Excise as the vehicle is from a non-EU country.
