What are 4D Number Plates?
What are 4D Number Plates?
Your Expert Guide to the Sharpest Look on the Road
When it comes to making a statement, 4D Number Plates are in a league of their own. Bolder and more striking than their 3D Gel counterparts, these plates offer a sharp, modern aesthetic that truly stands out. But what exactly makes a number plate “4D,” and why are they the top choice for so many car enthusiasts?
The Science Behind the Style: What are 4D Plates?
Forget everything you know about printed plates. 4D number plates are constructed using characters that are precision laser-cut from solid sheets of high-grade acrylic, typically 3mm or 5mm thick. These solid black, angular characters are then bonded to the plate surface with an industrial-strength adhesive. The result is a much sharper, more defined, and bolder raised effect compared to the softer, domed look of 3D Gel plates.
While the term “4D” is an industry name to distinguish this style, the DVLA officially classifies them under the legal umbrella of “3D (raised) characters.” It’s this sharp, block-like appearance that gives them their unique and commanding presence on any vehicle.
Key Features of 4D Acrylic Plates:
- Laser-Cut Precision: Solid acrylic characters for sharp, clean lines.
- Bold Profile: Available in 3mm or 5mm depths for a real statement.
- Angular ‘Block’ Style: A modern, aggressive look that stands out.
- Unmatched Durability: Jet wash friendly and resistant to fading and cracking.
Are 4D Number Plates Legal for UK Roads?
Absolutely. Just like our 3D Gel plates, our **4D Acrylic number plates are 100% road legal**. As a fully DVLA-registered supplier, we ensure every plate we manufacture meets the stringent requirements of the British Standard (BS AU 145e). This means:
- Correct Font & Spacing: We use the mandatory Charles Wright font with legal spacing. No exceptions.
- Solid Black Characters: The entire character, including the sides, is a single shade of solid black as required by law.
- Durability & Reflectivity: Our plates are built to withstand stone chips and pressure washers, and they meet all reflectivity standards for ANPR camera readability.
When you order from City Centre Plates, you get a premium product that is fully compliant, MOT-friendly, and built to last. You can drive with confidence, knowing your stylish plates are also perfectly legal.
