Common Questions
Q: “WILL MY PLATES BE PRINTED IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS?”
Yes! You may get a confirmation email that shows lower case letters on the text description, This is due to the customer using lower case letters.
Q: “WHY IS THERE SMALL TEXT UNDER MY PLATE?”
This isn’t an advertisement. However, it’s a legal requirement to have the manufacturer’s name and postcode on license plates. If you prefer custom plates without these details and with personalised slogans, you can choose them, but using them on UK roads is at your own risk.
Q: “WHY DOES MY PLATE LOOK GREEN?
Never a silly question!
We add a protective film layer over the front of all of our plates to protect them in transit, This can give the look of a darker plate,
Please peel off the removable front protective film, A little heat from a hairdryer will help you find an edge of the cover.

Q: “CAN I CHANGE SPACING ON MY PLATES?”
For the correct format you should only add one space to your registration. The space should be in the correct location, If you choose LEGAL PLATES on the builder, Then the builder will automatically space your plates legally.
please refer you your V5 log book and existing number plates. If you are still unsure please contact us for more information. See below examples for correctly spaced registrations vs incorrect:

Q: “DO WE PRE DRILL HOLES IN THE PLATES?”
Simple answer….No we don’t.
Some customer prefer to have no holes and use the sticky pads for a really clean look, Also there are far too many variants in placement on cars.
No plate seller will pre drill number plates, We send a comprehensive fitting instructions email to you after purchase which will help with all your plate fitting questions.
