4D gel number plates combine the sharp, bold style of 4D laser-cut acrylic characters with the glossy, domed finish of a polyurethane gel coating. The result is a plate with precisely cut raised characters that also feature a shiny, high-gloss surface, giving a unique and premium look.

4D gel plates are considered a hybrid between 4D plates and 3D gel plates, combining the best visual features of both styles.

4D gel plates are popular among enthusiasts and high-end vehicle owners due to their modern, eye-catching look.

4D gel plates are fully MOT legal and road compliant, provided they meet the current BS AU 145e standard.

⚠️ Non-compliant "show plates" with coloured characters, tints, or illegal spacing are not road legal and will fail an MOT.

Cleaning & Maintenance Guidelines

• ✅ Use mild, pH-balanced car shampoo

• ✅ Apply with a soft cloth or microfiber mitt

• ✅ Rinse gently and dry with a clean microfiber towel

• ❌ Avoid pressure washers directed at character edges

• ❌ Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or solvent cleaners

Note: While 4D gel plates are robust, poor cleaning methods or harsh chemicals may degrade the gel coating or weaken adhesive bonds.
