Registration as a built-up? is this easier?

[Giancarl03]

So the Mini I bought does not have papers and has been deregistered. It is is till on someone's name but tracing this person back is impossible. I am left with two choices now either go through the process as given by Abri in his post where I will have to pay the arrear license fees or, the other alternative, try and register it is as a built up car from various parts.

Has anyone tried the "registering from different parts" method?
