STANDARD PLATES
WHAT ARE STANDARD NUMBER PLATES?
Our standard replacement number plates are the most popular plate type in the UK — and for good reason. Made from 3mm acrylic sheeting, they are durable, lightweight, and built to the mandatory British Standard BS AU 145e. Every pair includes a white front plate and a yellow rear plate, both printed with the correct Charles Wright font and correct character spacing required by UK law.
Whether your existing plates are cracked, faded, or you’ve just purchased a vehicle and need new plates, our standard plates deliver a clean, legal, long-lasting result from just £24.99 a pair — including VAT, with next day delivery when ordered before 3pm.
Made in the UK
Every plate is manufactured at our UK facility using premium 3mm acrylic. No imports. Consistent quality on every single order.
