Acrylic depth combined with a gel face
4D gel number plates combine raised acrylic characters with a smooth gel face. 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.
UK delivery or Dunlop collection
Choose UK delivery or collection from Dunlop, East Ayrshire. Timing depends on approval and availability; wait for confirmation before travelling to collect.

Read the fitting guide →Questions about 4d gel number plates
Are 4D gel plates the same as 3D gel?
No. Our 4D gel finish layers a gel face over acrylic characters. The 3D gel product uses raised, rounded gel lettering. The different construction gives each finish its own appearance.
Can I order 4D gel front and rear plates together?
Yes. Choose Front & Rear Pair in the customiser and configure the compatible formats for each side. The price covers the selected plates; optional fixings and additional choices are shown separately in the configuration.
