F.A.Q

Road Legal & Show Plates - Whats the difference and what does this mean?, what do I need to provide?

Road Legal:
At the bottom of all road legal UK number plates is a business name, the business postcode and a BSAU code. This BSAU code means that the business thats created the plate (us, Mr Plates), the registration number and the plate itself conforms to DVLA guidlines and regulations.

Show Plate:
The term, in fact, comes from the idea that these number plates are only to be used at car shows, as they are not road legal. Show plates is a term that encompasses any number plate which does not follow the legal standard for number plates as set by DVLA this INCLUDES the business and BSAU being missing from the plate.

If you order a Road Legal number plate then we will need a copy the vehicle logbook or retention certificate. The number plate on the order must match the documents. Please watch the video for a full explanation. To find out what documents needs to be provided, see  HERE

Ive recently purchased a personal reg so what do you need?

When you buy a personalised registration, you are usually given the option of paying extra for the company to do all the DVLA legwork or you can do this yourself. Once done you are eventually provided with either/or logbook/retention certificate. This can take days/weeks to arrive. Once you have that, you can then supply any of these HERE

Can I order over the phone?

Ideally we need all orders going through the website. This is so we can gather all the information in one place, ensure the payment is a success and documents are attached to the orders. We dont take cash however we do have a card machine for those who are not tech savvy but they must pay upfront.

How long does my order take to complete?

We aim for same day processing. Even if you order at 6PM and wanting to collect, we will try our very best to get your order complete and have you collect it. We work around you and your time.

Do you offer a fitting service?

Unfortunately we dont. We do have a video on how you can fit them HERE yourself or pop to a local garage and ask if they can fit

What fittings would you reccommend?

On each product you can pick if you want the screws and sticky pads pack. We would always say use screws, they are less likely to fall off and sticky pads are just a temp solution to securing your plates. Our screws come with coloured ends so they match and blend in with your plates.
