Standard size number plates
The standard 520mm x 111mm oblong plate is the default size for the vast majority of UK cars. Made to order, road-legal, and supplied as a matched front and rear pair from £26.99.
The default size for most UK cars
If you drive a regular hatchback, saloon, estate, SUV or van, the standard 520mm x 111mm plate is almost certainly what your vehicle was designed to take. It fills the moulded recess on the bumper and slots straight into existing plate surrounds without any modification.
Choose standard if you simply want a clean, road-legal replacement pair, or a fresh finish in a new style. It's the safe choice whenever you're unsure which size you need.

Road-legal by default
Standard size plates are designed to be fully road-legal when ordered with a compliant font, spacing and the correct documents. They meet the BS AU 145e dimensions used across UK roads.
