At Number Plates Club, we understand the thrill of personalizing your vehicle with standout accessories. One way to make your ride the envy of other motorists is by adorning it with our premium 3D domed gel plates. These plates don’t just look great; they add a layer of sophistication and style that sets your vehicle apart. But the big question that often pops up is: Are 3D gel number plates legal?
Are 3D Gel Number Plates Legal in the UK?
You might be wondering, “Are 3D gel plates legal?” or “Are 3D number plates DVLA approved?” The simple answer is yes! All our 3D number plates at Number Plates Club meet the strict standards set by the DVLA and are 100% road legal. We ensure that our plates comply with British Standards (BS AU 145E), meaning they are fully approved for use on UK roads.
Our Commitment to Quality
As one of the UK’s most popular suppliers of legal 3D number plates, we take pride in maintaining the highest quality standards. Our plates are designed not just to meet legal requirements but also to offer durability and style. Here’s how we create our premium 3D gel number plates:
- Printing and Cutting: We start by printing and cutting legally sized characters.
- Applying Resin: Our premium-grade resin is carefully applied to recognize the cut lines of the letters and numbers.
- Removing Bubbles: The characters are placed in a low-heat oven to remove bubbles.
- Cooling: After achieving the desired results, we allow them to cool.
- Adhesion: The high-strength 3M adhesive backing is then applied.
- Final Rolling: Finally, the plates are rolled through airtight rollers to ensure perfection before dispatch.
Customizing Your 3D Gel Number Plates
At Number Plates Club, customization is key. Whether you want 3D plates for your car, 4x4, or motorcycle, we have options to fit your needs. We ensure that all characters are of legal size, making our 3D and private plates suitable for any vehicle. Although the two-tone font effect, which gave a 3D appearance without the raised gel, is no longer legal, our full premium domed effect remains a top choice for motorists.
What’s the Difference Between 3D and 4D Plates?
We often get asked about the difference between 3D and 4D number plates. While both styles offer a raised character look, 3D plates use a polyurethane gel resin for a smooth profile, whereas 4D plates are made from solid acrylic, offering a precise, boxed cut around the characters. Each style provides a unique aesthetic, allowing you to choose the perfect look for your vehicle.
Not All 3D Plates Are Legal
It's important to note that not all 3D plates are road legal. For instance, we do not sell 3D carbon number plates or any form of carbon style plates, as these are not compliant with legal standards. By law, characters must be solid black without any effects like carbon or honeycomb.
Affordable and Premium Quality
At Number Plates Club, we believe in providing high-quality plates at competitive prices. With options like borders, slogans, and different plate sizes, we offer customization without compromising on quality. Our plates are crafted using the latest laser cutting and CNC hardware to ensure precision and durability.
