NUMBER PLATE GUIDES

Straight answers on what's legal, what fails an MOT, and what you need to get a replacement made. For questions about ordering from us, see the FAQ.

WHAT DO REPLACEMENT PLATES COST?

Real UK prices by finish, and the four things a suspiciously cheap plate is usually missing.

UK NUMBER PLATE SIZES

Every legal size in mm, the character measurements the law fixes, and how to tell which fits your car.

UK NUMBER PLATE STYLES

Every finish you are allowed to fit, shown side by side, and the ones that fail an MOT.

3D VS 4D NUMBER PLATES

One is a resin dome over a printed letter. The other is cut from solid acrylic. How they differ and which to pick.

IS A CRACKED PLATE AN MOT FAILURE?

Sometimes. The exact test an inspector applies, and the defect almost nobody spots on their own car.

ARE 4D PLATES LEGAL?

Yes, and GOV.UK says so outright. What actually decides it, and why the ban rumour keeps coming back.

HOW TO FIT NUMBER PLATES

Screws or sticky pads, step by step, plus the mistakes that crack a brand new plate.
