Show plates are a way that you can personalize your car to suit your own unique taste and style. Some people like to use their favourite sports team or a cartoon character as a badge on their plate and this is perfectly acceptable. The starting point is to decide on your theme and then to customize the plate by adding backgrounds, choosing a font, a border and unique badges to make your plate special.
One way to get a plate that you want is to visit Proplates.co.uk and customize a plate online or order replacing your plates. The best way to get started is to visit the site and choose what you prefer in a systematic manner. One thing to remember is that you will need to ensure that the size of plate that you choose will fit on the back of your car. Most car number plates are 520 mm x 111mm, but you should measure your existing plate just to be sure of the correct size and ensure you are ordering a number plate that is the same size as that one.
Show plates are usually not pre-drilled because every vehicle has screw holes for fixing the plate to the vehicle in different places. These plates come with sticky pads that can be used to fix the plate to the back of the vehicle. If you prefer to drill holes in your own plates, take an existing number plate, place it over top of your new plate and make the plate where the drill holes are. Next, carefully drill holes into your new show plates so that the new drill holes will be exactly where the holes were in the old plates.
Due to the fact that show plates are personalized, it is important to be certain that you are ordering exactly what you want before you place your order. If you really like the plate that you have ordered, you can order multiple sets of the same plate. You will need to choose from the legal fonts for UK including Car Plain, Car 3D standard, Car 3D highline and Car 3D carbon.
Standard number plates do not have manufacturer details shown on them, so you can choose the option of opting out of having the plate creator information added into the plate as it is created. Legal plates have a particular type of spacing so if you would like your plate to be legal one space needs to be added in the correct location as it is displayed on the V5.
If you want to see a preview of the plates that you are ordering, you can take a look at the preview before you purchase the plate. You can order several number plates once you have designed them and added them to your shopping cart. All you will need to do is choose another plate and then design the new plate as you wish. Once you have started to design your own show plates, you can create more because you are familiar with the process.
