Instead of going with the boring 4D Laser Cut Plates, we’ve gone above and beyond. We’ve decided to combine our gel number plate styles with our 4D Black Laser Cut and Crystal Laser Cut. The finish was unreal, and we’re the only people offering this custom plate style in London.
The laser cut Black 4D that we use is manufactured using high quality industrial grade acrylic with high quality adhesive. Although there are several fakes and copies of our laser cut 4D plates on the market. You can rest assured that Number Plate Clinic also known as Autoworld in London. Are the only company that can provide you with the real high quality registration plates.
Yes 3D Number Plates are legal.
Despite some unfounded fears that changes to DVLA number plate regulations would effectively lead to outlawing 3D and 4D number plates, 3D number plates remain legal on UK roads.
What has happened is that 2D plates that have used an unusual font or effect to give the impression of being 3D are now effectively banned. However, genuine 3D and 4D plates with actually raised lettering are still legal.
When you’re looking for a 3D or 4D number plate, make sure you order it from a reputable supplier and order a plate with genuinely raised lettering. The DVLA guidance also states that characters must not be removable or reflective. If your plates were fitted after the 1st of September 2022 they must also be a single shade of black.
Yes, but Only 3D Gloss Black.
As long as the plate meets all other BS AU 145e legal requirements, are made from reflective material with non-reflective solid-black non-reflective lettering and with no background pattern, 4D plates are legal. Plates should also bear the name of the supplier.
Yes Short Number Plates are Legal.
When we talk about short number plates, we mean the physical dimensions of the plate itself.
Number plates haven’t always been the length they are now. Very early registrations only featured two numbers and you can still buy older registrations with fewer characters.
If you do buy one of these private registrations, chances are it might look a little peculiar on a standard-sized number plate.
In which case, you might consider having a shorter plate. But is it legal to do this?
4D plates differ from 3D plates in that they are typically manufactured using professionally laser cut acrylic letters rather than raised gel letters. 4D number plates give your car an added wow factor.
Number plate personalisation in the UK continues to be in high demand. While there are a range of different personalisation options available, one of the leading trends in 2023 is for 4D number plates.
4D reg plates take your personalisation to the next level, helping your vehicle stand out while meeting all of the necessary legal requirements.
4D number plates are a great choice for your Range Rover. They help make your vehicle look great on the road. They’re a creative choice and increasingly fashionable as people look to give their car an added edge.
They look particularly effective on a Range Rover because of the large space at the back of the vehicle for the plate. 4D number plates are a feature in their own right that can complement the overall look of your car. There’s also an amazing range of different types of plates to choose from.
The Range Rover uses different size plates to the standard. It is measured at 21 inches/53cm by 6inches/15cm, and the rear plates are oblong in order to fill the large space on the boot. Newer Range Rover Sport vehicles use the same plate, but the older style vehicle uses an oversize plate that points upwards on each side.
