Yes – you can. Simply provide your own ID together with a valid proof of entitlement in the name of the person you’re buying the plates for.

Yes – we do create show plates for customers who want something unique for display, exhibitions, or off-road use. We recommend giving us a call first to discuss your chosen style and check stock availability before coming in. Once you arrive at the shop, we’ll usually have your show plate made within 30 minutes.

⚠️ Please note: Show plates are not road-legal and are for display purposes only. As a fully registered UK number plate supplier, we cannot produce show plates that imitate the style of road-legal number plates.

If you’re visiting our shop to order plates, we recommend giving us a quick heads-up by phone before you set off 01913385383 – just so we can confirm stock availability and remind you to bring the required documents. Once you arrive, we’ll usually have your plates made and ready to go within 30 minutes. 

 Yes – our plates are fully road-legal. The DVLA confirms that number plate characters can be 3D (the term “4D” is just an industry label, but still classed as 3D). Shortened and Hex plates are also legal, provided they meet BS AU 145e standards. 

 No – they don’t. Number plates can be purchased as a gift, so you can use your own ID alongside an entitlement document in the name of a family member or friend. 

 Yes – we’re happy to fit your new plates to your vehicle while you’re here. A small service fee applies for fitting. 

No – this isn’t allowed. By law, the small text at the bottom of your number plates must show the registered supplier details and the British Standard (BS AU 145e) they conform to. Personal slogans or custom text cannot replace this. 

We take pride in our work and inspect every plate through a strict quality control process before we hand it over. Your new plates are handmade bespoke products, so  there may be the rare instance of a tiny imperfection.

When switching to a shortened or Hex plate, some of the area previously covered by your old full-size plate may become visible. This can occasionally reveal minor marks, drill holes, or imperfections on the vehicle that were hidden before. These are not caused by the new plate itself, but simply exposed once the larger plate is removed so it's always good to be mindful when changing the size of your plates.

Traditionally, plates were fitted with screws, but this can sometimes cause cracks or distort the lettering. A better option is to use strong adhesive pads or double-sided automotive tape, which we can provide for a small fee. This provides a secure, clean fit without the risk of damaging your plates.

No – a flag is optional and we can add them for you. You can choose to display a UK, SCO, ENG, or CYM flag, all of which are fully legal and can enhance the look of your plates. If you’re driving abroad, adding the UK flag also saves you from needing an extra country sticker on your vehicle. 

For a plate to be legally recognised in the UK, it must meet the DVLA’s strict standards. This includes using the correct Charles Wright font in solid black, with precise character sizes and spacing that match your V5C logbook. Each plate must also show the supplier’s details and the current BS AU 145e mark to prove compliance. Following these rules ensures your plates are fully road-legal and M.O.T safe.
