History of UK Registrations
UK vehicle registrations began in 1904 under the Motor Car Act, initially issued by local councils before the Department of Transport took over in 1974. Early plates used simple letter and number codes (e.g., A1), later expanding to three-letter and three-number formats. By the 1960s, the layout was reversed (999ABC), followed in 1963 by year suffixes (ABC123A) and from 1983 by year prefixes (A123ABC). The modern system, introduced in 2001, uses a regional and date code (e.g., AB51ABC) and is managed by the DVLA in Swansea.
How to fit replacement number plates
**Removing the Old Number Plates:**
1. Lift off screw covers and remove screws, setting them aside.
2. If using adhesive, gently pull or pry the plate off. A wallpaper scraper can help, but be careful not to damage the surface.
**Fitting Screw-In Number Plates:**
We don't recommend drilling into the plate as it can cause the backing to come away from the acrylic face, and water can get in, but sometimes it's needed.
1. Drill holes in the new plates using the old plate as a template. Mark from the back for a neater appearance.
2. Create a catch mark for the drill and use an electric drill to make the holes. Avoid applying pressure to prevent damage.
3. Clean up the holes and screw the new plate in place, ensuring it’s secure but not over-tightened. Use new or old screws as needed.
4. If you have a color-matched cap, put it on.
**Fitting Adhesive Number Plates:**
1. Ensure the surface is flat, clean, and dry. Remove any old adhesive.
2. Stick adhesive pads to the back of the new plate, using more for a stronger fixing.
3. Remove the covers from the pads and align the plate before applying pressure, as the pads can't be reused. Make sure the surface and the plate are warm to activate the glue on the pads.
4. Press for about 10 seconds to secure it, and double-check its placement before driving.
Alternatively, you can fit number Plate surrounds that hold the Plate. See below.
