What are short number plates?

Through huge requests and demands from our customers, coupled with us integrating the latest laser cutting equipment, we’ve started to produce and supply custom sized short number plates.

This means that the neater, more compact shortened number plates will take up much less space on your most prized possession. Make the most of your new private registration with these tidy short plates. If you would like to take it further and add ‘V’ cut sides, or an oval finish, be sure to let us know and our helpful customer service and manufacturing teams will do all they can to fulfil your wishes! Whatever you needs, when it comes to buying a shorter number plate, we’ve got you covered.
