Product details
This finish layers a gel face over raised acrylic characters for approximately 5 mm of combined character depth. It combines the depth of 4D lettering with a rounded, glossy-looking surface.
Use the customiser to select a front plate, rear plate or pair and see the price for the chosen format and extras before adding it to your basket.
Our 4D gel number plates combine raised acrylic characters with a smooth gel face for approximately 5 mm of combined character depth. This describes the acrylic-and-gel characters, not the overall plate thickness. This layered finish gives the lettering an acrylic profile with the rounded surface associated with gel.
Our 4D acrylic page is the alternative if you prefer an acrylic face, while 3D gel offers rounded gel lettering without the same layered acrylic finish. Choose a front plate, rear plate or pair and compare compatible shapes in the builder.
A road-legal selection must meet the applicable layout, character and plate requirements. We check identity and entitlement to the registration before making road-legal plates.
