Yes, we are fully registered with the DVLA to make number plates. Which is why we are able to print our name/postcode along with the BS mark on the bottom of your number plate to ensure they are road legal.

Yes, our 3D & 4D plates are 100% legal. “4D” is just a quirky name for the style of plate however, they are still 3D. We have included a link to the DVLA government website which states “Characters on a number plate can be 3D” https://www.gov.uk/displaying-number-plates/rules-number-plates(https://www.gov.uk/displaying-number-plates/rules-number-plates)

No, tinted plates are not legal for road use by any means. Tinted plates are sold as show plates only. For example, if you would like display them in and around your house, car meets and car shows. If you decide to have your number plate spaced in a way which is non-identical to how the plate is spaced on the V5C (logbook), the plate will be classed as a show plate which will make it illegal for road use. Tinted/custom spaced plates are sold as show plates only meaning the British standard road legal marking and the supplier name and postcode won’t be printed on the plate.

Of course, they do. We keep the legal text looking discreet as we do not use it for marketing purposes. Our details are “Plate Builder BL3 3PA BASU 145E.

Due to the nature of number plates and them being specific to yourself we are unable to cancel/amend any order placed. The reason being, we start on orders as soon as they are received to ensure we get your number plates out to you as quick as possible. We are more than happy however, to refund you the cost of postage, any accessories and fixing kits as long as they are unopened.

We offer a full 12-month warranty on all of our number plates. The warranty covers any delamination/discolouration of the number plates and any cases of ‘tunnelling’. This is where water gets in between the reflective and acrylic resulting in the acrylic separating from the reflective. If you are still unsure about the warranty policy please get in touch with us through the contact page.
