Now that includes your number plate! We are a DVLA authorised supplier of UK number plates, which are manufactured in line with British Standard BS AU 145e. What does that mean?

As per the beginning of 2026 the government has made noises about bringing in legislation later in the year to formally ban this type of plate. Whilst we might feel that a government might have more pressing things to do with its time, we are not comfortable supplying customers with a product that might earn them a £1,000 fine in the near future! As such, we ARE able to offer this type of plate, but want you to be forewarned.
