Three Steps Before You Order
Measure the Plate
Width and height in mm/inches across the outer edges, plus the visible (number) area if you want a full-wrap frame.
Check the Holes
Count mounting holes and measure the spacing. Note if screws sit top and bottom (2-hole) or all four corners (4-hole).
Check Visibility Rules
Many regions require the registration number and any stickers to stay fully visible — frames should not cover them.
Still unsure about fitment?
Send a photo of the plate next to a ruler — we will confirm the correct frame in one reply.

What size are European license plates?
The standard EU format is 520 x 110 mm, with some countries also using 340 x 220 mm or other variants. Always measure your plate before ordering a frame.
Do your frames fit both 2-hole and 4-hole plates?
Most of our standard frames fit both 2-hole and 4-hole mounting. If you are unsure, send us a photo and the hole spacing and we will confirm the right fit.
Can you make frames for non-standard or custom plate sizes?
Yes. Custom shapes and sizes are produced with our in-house tooling from 2,000 pcs; smaller test runs can use adjustable stock frames where possible.
