Are 4D Number Plates Legal?
So one of the most asked questions we are get are things like 'Are 4D reg plates legal' or 'can you have 4D number plates UK?' and the simple answer is YES absolutely - 4D number plates are 100% legal in the UK as long as they comply with the current UK legislation. The DVLA have some pretty simple rules and as long as 'we' stay with them we're A-okay.
The DVLA say - Your number plates can also: have 3D (raised) characters, display certain flags, symbols and identifiers display a green flash, if you have a zero-emission vehicle.
However, it is illegal to have a number plate which isn’t readable. If the letters are too 3D it could make them hard or impossible to read from certain angles or from a camera. It is also illegal to have 4D Neon Plates on UK roads. We recommend either 3mm or 5mm 4D Number Plates.

So - yeah 4D plates are not 4D they are just a differnt style to other 3D number plates and 3D Gel Plates.
How are 4D Number Plates Made?
Quite simply - we make 4D Number Plates by sticking black acrylic letters or numbers directly to either a white reflective number plate (font) or to the yellow reflective number Plate (back) we use high grade 3M adestive tape and a mm precise gig to make sure they are strait and thge spacing is correct.
