How to Choose Your Show Plate

With so many options available, it helps to think about a few simple things before you start designing.

1

Start with your vehicle type

If you are ordering for a car, our car show plates page covers all available styles and sizes for cars. If you are ordering for a motorcycle, our bike show plates page covers specialist motorcycle sizing options.

2

Choose your character style

Do you want raised characters or a flat print? Gel show plates give a refined, glossy raised look. 4D acrylic plates give a bolder, more striking result. Pressed style suits classic and heritage vehicles. Not sure? Visit the individual style pages for more detail.

3

Consider your finish

Standard white and yellow is the most popular choice, but if you want something more distinctive, black and honeycomb finishes are available. Black plates work particularly well on darker or performance vehicles.
