Show Plates

What are show plates?

In order for a vehicle to be driven legally on UK roads it must display front and rear number plates which meet the specifications and standards demanded by current regulations. These specs are very detailed, and leave no room for cosmetic considerations such as the text style or custom graphics and emblems. The whole focus is on clarity and readability to the exclusion of all else.

This is all fair enough, as identification is the main function of number plates, and is the reason that cars are required to have them in the first place. However there are times when people need a little more emphasis on presentation.

Car and motorcycle shows are very popular all over the UK. They are usually held on private land away from the public highway. Participants in such shows often temporarily display number plates which bear names, words, slogans etc. The facility to do this enhances their ability to maximise the individuality of their vehicles. For this purpose “show plates” are used. As they are only displayed while vehicles are on private property no regulations are broken by the display of words, coloured and decorative text fonts or emblems, badges and other graphics.
