Our Number Plate Range for Dealerships

Acrylic Number Plates

uGroup UK is the UK market leader in acrylic number plate supply. Our acrylic number plates are lightweight, durable, and fully customisable, manufactured to meet current DVLA regulations and British Standard BS AU 145e as standard. With a smooth, high-gloss finish and solid construction, they deliver a smart, well-presented look that customers recognise and trust across all vehicle types.

Alongside finished plates, we supply the complete range of acrylic components, fixings, self-assembly printing systems, and lips, strips and surrounds to support on-site production, giving your dealership everything it needs from a single supplier.

Acrylic Finished Plates

Our acrylic made-up plates are a firm favourite for dealerships that want a dependable, road-legal product without the need for on-site printing. Manufactured using high-quality acrylic components, they maintain their clarity and finish over time and strike the right balance between durability, presentation, and value. Ready to fit, compliant from day one.

Acrylic Number Plate Components

For dealerships producing plates in-house, uGroup UK supplies a complete range of acrylic components including reflective materials, acrylic sheets, printer ribbons, self-assembly systems, and fixings. Our self-assembly solutions are designed to make DVLA-compliant on-site plate production simple, efficient, and cost-effective.

MetaTek (Aluminium) Number Plates

For dealerships looking to elevate their offer, MetaTek aluminium number plates provide a premium alternative that combines a sleek, professional finish with outstanding durability. Fully customisable and available in a range of sizes and finishes, MetaTek is particularly well suited to prestige vehicles, high-end forecourt displays, and dealerships with sustainability goals embedded in their business strategy.

MetaTek is the most environmentally friendly number plate available in the UK market. Plastic-free and produced from recycled aluminium, it's uGroup UK's most innovative plate format and represents a genuine step forward for dealerships committed to reducing their environmental impact. The sustainability credentials are independently verified: MetaTek produces 61% lower carbon emissions than PMMA acrylic, consumes three times less fossil fuel in production, and carries a significantly higher recycling rate than traditional acrylic alternatives. For dealer groups with corporate sustainability targets, switching to MetaTek aluminium number plates is a meaningful, measurable step, and a story worth telling to customers.

Our aluminium finished number plates are produced to the same exacting DVLA compliance standards as our acrylic range, with the added benefit of a premium metal finish. Robust enough for long-term display and road use, they're an ideal choice for dealerships positioning themselves at the higher end of the market.

Available as finished plates and as a substrate for on-site production, MetaTek integrates into existing dealership workflows without disruption. uGroup UK also supplies a full suite of aluminium number plate components, including MetaTek substrates, HD and laser film, printer ribbons, self-assembly systems, fixings, and lips, strips and surrounds — everything your team needs to produce compliant aluminium plates on-site, from a single trusted supplier.

UltraTek 4D Number Plates

For customers who want something that stands out, UltraTek 4D number plates deliver a bold, premium finish that makes a statement without compromising on compliance. Featuring raised 4D black digits, UltraTek plates are fully road-legal and designed for drivers who want a distinctive look to match their vehicle.

For dealerships, offering UltraTek 4D plates as a premium add-on at the point of sale is a straightforward way to increase transaction value and give customers a memorable handover experience. Available to order through uGroup UK's trade account system alongside the rest of our number plate range.

Why Compliance Matters for Your Dealership

Every number plate your dealership fits to a customer's vehicle must meet DVLA regulations and BS AU 145e standards. Non-compliant plates are not road legal, and the liability sits with your business, not the supplier. DVLA enforcement is active, with fines of up to £5,000 for unregistered production and up to £2,500 for supplying non-British Standard plates.

uGroup UK is a fully registered Registered Number Plate Supplier (RNPS). Every product we supply, across both our acrylic and aluminium ranges, is manufactured to current legal standards, so your dealership can fit plates with confidence at every handover.

A Trade Partner Built Around Your Dealership

uGroup UK works with thousands of established customers across the UK and Europe, from independent dealerships to large dealer groups. Our trade accounts offer volume pricing, straightforward online ordering, and dedicated support, so procurement is one less thing your team has to think about.

We also supply custom dealership branding across number plate lips, strips, and surrounds, helping your brand stay visible on every vehicle that leaves your forecourt.
