    i think NI cars are 3 letters followed by 1-4 numbers, UK plates are 2 letters - 2 numbers - 3 letters (i think)

    actually full info in the following link

    Its the hats and the cleanliness of the car that distinguish one from the other.

    Don't forget that a car with a UK plate (eg: ABC 123 or 123 ABC or ABC 123A or A123 ABC or BC57 ABC) could be registered in NI, ie, with the DVA (formerly the DVLNI), and that NI plates (eg: ACZ 1234 or 1234 ACZ) are commonly registered with the DVLA in the UK as a cheap form of "cherished plates" so the format of the characters doesn't always define the region of residence of the owner.
