Damaged, Faded or Stolen Plates: What to Do Next
By RegXperts
Plates can take a knock, fade in the sun or, occasionally, be stolen. Whatever's happened, getting back to a clear, road-legal plate is straightforward. Here's what to do.
Cracked or damaged plates
A cracked or broken plate should be replaced promptly — your registration needs to be clearly visible at all times. Order a like-for-like replacement and fit it as soon as it arrives.
Faded or yellowing plates
Older plates can fade, yellow or lose their reflectivity. Beyond looking tired, a plate that's hard to read isn't doing its job. A fresh plate instantly restores clarity — and it's a great moment to upgrade to a premium 3D gel or 4D finish.
If your plates are stolen
Stolen plates should be reported to the police so the theft is on record. You can then order replacements showing your registration. Reporting it helps protect you if the plates are misused.
Ordering a replacement
For road-legal replacements you'll provide your proof of ID and entitlement, just as with any new plate. Enter your registration carefully and choose your finish — we'll make and dispatch it fast.
