4D Gel Number Plates FAQ - Your Complete Guide
When it comes to customising your vehicle, 4D gel number plates are a standout choice for car enthusiasts seeking a unique and stylish look. These plates not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your vehicle but are also designed to comply with legal standards. This comprehensive guide addresses some of the most frequently asked questions about 4D gel number plates to help you make an informed decision.
How Are 4D Gel Plates Made?
The manufacturing process of 4D gel plates involves a base layer of high-quality 3mm or 6mm acrylic. Onto this, a 3D gel is applied, creating depth and giving the plate its distinctive raised effect. The final product is both visually striking and durable. For more details, visit our guide on how 4D gel plates are made.
Difference Between 4D and 4D Gel Plates
The main difference between 4D and 4D gel plates is in the finish and texture. 4D plates consist of acrylic characters with a clean, sharp look. In contrast, 4D gel plates have an additional gel resin layer on top of the acrylic, offering a glossy, textured finish that adds depth to the plate's appearance.
Are 4D Gel Plates Legal in 2024?
Yes, 4D gel number plates are legal in 2024 as long as they adhere to the DVLA's specifications for size, spacing, and font. It's crucial to ensure your plates meet these requirements to avoid potential fines. For detailed information on DVLA display rules, please check our blog post on the subject.

Are 4D Gel Plates Better Than 3D Gel Plates?
