Polish Car Inspection & Registering car

Hi friends!

As you know, I'll be moving to Poland end of next month, but will bring my car too.
I will be driving these plates for 6 months but after that I need to get Polish ones.

So I was wondering if anyone had any experience with "importing" a car, like do I have to pass Polish car inspection, and if so, what do they look after, what is important? Because here NCT is very strict but I was wondering how it worked in Poland.

Anyone who could give me any advice or help would be highly appreciated ;)

Grtz.

Nobody at all? :-)

Haha, that is one way of doing it I guess!
But I would like to do it legal, like get Polish plates, even pay taxes! :-)

JUst drive it on those plates for as long as you like :D, where is it actually coming from, I've heard that registering in Poland is really difficult. Technical check doesn't seem to be too strict judging by the sheds that drive around here. If it moves forwards and backwards, attempts to stop when the middle pedal is pressed and can transport 1 metric tonne of cabbages I think it gets a ticket.
