Will this fit my car?

520 x 111mm is the standard UK car and van size and fits the overwhelming majority of vehicles. Measure your existing plate before ordering. If it is short and tall rather than long and thin, you need the square size instead.

Do I get one plate or two?

That depends on which option you select. Front Only and Rear Only are a single plate. Front and Rear Pair is two plates, a white front and a yellow rear, printed together so they match.

Are screws or fixings included?

No, plates are supplied on their own. Most cars can reuse the existing screws or sticky pads. If yours are rusted or damaged, number plate fixing kits are inexpensive and available from any motor factor.

How soon will it arrive?

Plates are made to order once we have verified your documents. We dispatch quickly and standard UK delivery typically arrives within 2 to 4 working days from that point.

The One Rule

WHERE IT CAN
AND CAN'T GO

NO DOCUMENTS NEEDED

Because this isn't going on a road-going vehicle, there's no entitlement check. No V5C, no logbook, no waiting. Type what you want and we'll make it.

Fine anywhere like this:

On a wall, in a garage, workshop or office
On a car show stand or display vehicle
On a track car, field vehicle or anything off-road
As a film, theatre or photography prop
As a gift, keepsake or piece of signage

Not on a vehicle used on public roads. Fitting a show plate to a road-going vehicle is an offence, it will fail an MOT, and the penalty is real. By ordering you're confirming it won't be used that way.

ANSWERS

What should I put on it?

Names and nicknames are the most popular, followed by dates, club names, build names and social handles. Shorter works better — four to seven characters sits large and reads from across a room, where ten characters gets cramped.

Can I use symbols or punctuation?

Letters, numbers, spaces, full stops and hyphens. Anything else won't print cleanly at plate size, so we keep it to what actually looks right.

Is it a good gift if I don't know their car?

That's exactly why it works. A road-legal plate needs their logbook, which means asking for it and ruining the surprise. A show plate needs nothing from them at all — most end up on a wall anyway.

Will it look like a real plate?

It is a real plate. Same acrylic, same printing, same finish as the ones we make for the road. The only difference is what's printed on it and where it's allowed to go.
