Black & Silver Premium Acrylic

Front Plate Size

Most modern cars will use a standard size plate. If you have a short registration number, you may choose a shorter plate – this is entirely down to personal preference. If choosing a shorter plate, do check to make sure there are no existing screw holes that may be exposed.

What font style should I choose?

Printed

The most common type of number plate. Traditional printed plates with flat lettering and a reflective background on high quality acrylic.

3D Gel

Raised gel characters on a reflective plate surface, giving a premium “domed” look.

4D 3mm Gloss

Laser-cut acrylic 3mm deep characters in a high-gloss finish, creating a sharp “boxed” 3-D effect.

4D 3mm + Gel

Laser-cut acrylic 3mm deep characters with a gel resin finish, for a premium textured plate.

Ghost

Solid black-on-black raised 4D characters where the depth creates a subtle shadowed effect for a sleek “ghost” look.

Elevate

Premium plates where the 4D digits are significantly raised above the plate background so it looks like they are floating.
