Re sizes etc, it should all be on the certificate of conformity (if you're importing a European sourced / spec vehicle)

V55/5 is vehicle registration document? This is required so DVLA can getb you on the system and register it / give you a reg no.

Customs form is to let them know you've bought it so the nice people at the Treasury can relieve you of the VAT assuming you've not paid it originally (different regulations then I think). You've to keep the VAT receipt for quite a few years (7?) and the importing paperwork just in case there's any checking up - if the paperwork's not available then the powers that be can drive away in the car and you can do sod all about it...

 

The Customs form that you will need is HM C&E 386; which your clearing agents should have forwarded to you shortly after your vehicle cleared Customs.
