Range Rover 4D 21×6 Plate: The Ultimate Aesthetic Upgrade and MOT Compliant Fit
Introduction: Why Your Range Rover Deserves a 4D Upgrade
Your Range Rover Sport, Velar, or Evoque requires a specific rear plate size, the 21×6 (533mm x 152mm), to perfectly fill its dedicated mounting plinth. The purchase decision isn’t about getting the right size; it’s about getting the premium style your vehicle deserves.
Many owners find their existing printed or standard acrylic plate:
- Lacks Dimension: It diminishes the vehicle’s high end, three dimensional aesthetic.
- Shows Wear: It may be faded, cracked, or damaged, risking an immediate MOT failure.
The ultimate solution for both aesthetic perfection and regulatory compliance is the 4D 21×6 Rear Plate. This guide explains why this specific laser cut style is the essential upgrade for your luxury SUV.
1. The 4D Advantage: Elevating the Aesthetic
A 4D number plate is the most significant visual upgrade you can make. Unlike a standard plate where characters are simply printed onto a flat surface, 4D plates feature laser cut acrylic characters that are permanently bonded to the plate surface.
Why 4D Plates are the Premium Choice for Range Rovers:
- Dimensional Look: The 3mm deep acrylic characters create a sharp, shadow casting, and aggressive look that perfectly complements the dynamic design language of the Range Rover.
- Ultimate Clarity: The solid black acrylic resists fading, ensuring your plate remains perfectly legible for years, unlike printed plates which can degrade from UV exposure and cleaning.
- Durability: 4D characters are far more robust than standard printed vinyl, resisting jet washes and general wear, offering superior longevity.
2. The 21×6 Dimension: Compliance and Factory Finish
The 21×6 (533mm x 152mm) plate size is the correct dimension mandated for the rear plinth of many modern Range Rover models. While your current plate is likely this size, upgrading to the 4D material ensures you maintain the required compliance while elevating the look.
| Plate Feature | Standard Printed 21×6 | Our 4D 21×6 Upgrade |
|---|---|---|
| Aesthetic | Flat, two dimensional | 3D Shadow Casting Effect |
| Material | Printed Vinyl/Thin Acrylic | Premium Laser Cut 3mm Acrylic |
| Finish | Can look dull/aged quickly | Crisp, sharp, and high contrast |
| Compliance | Legal (if undamaged) | Legal and Fully MOT Compliant |
This size is the mandatory rear dimension for achieving that desirable, integrated aesthetic on models including the Range Rover Sport (L494/L461), Range Rover Velar, Range Rover Evoque (Latest Generation), and Discovery 5.
3. Legality: Addressing 4D and MOT Compliance
You can rest assured that a 4D plate in the 21×6 size is fully road legal in the UK and will pass the MOT, provided it adheres to the strict margins and character specifications defined by the DVLA.
Key Legal Requirements for our 4D 21×6 Plates:
- Character Legality: The 4D acrylic characters must be the correct Charles Wright font (79mm high, 14mm stroke width). Our plates meet this rule precisely.
- Margins: Crucially, there must be a minimum margin of 11mm around all sides of the registration characters. Our 21×6 design utilizes the full plate size while strictly maintaining this mandatory border.
- British Standard: The plates display the mandatory British Standard (BS AU 145e) mark, confirming they meet legal requirements for durability and reflectivity.
In summary: Our 4D 21×6 plates deliver a significant aesthetic upgrade while guaranteeing full DVLA and MOT compliance.
