Outline number plates with layered outline lettering

Outline number plates, previously called Ghost, use a 3mm black acrylic character base topped with a 3mm black outline layer. The result is a 6mm raised profile with a distinct outline detail on each character, while the lettering remains black throughout.

Character construction

The outline is part of the raised character construction. It follows the shape of each letter and number above the full acrylic base, creating a different surface profile from a solid top layer. This character detail is separate from the optional black border around the outside of the plate.

  • Character base: 3mm black acrylic.
  • Upper character layer: 3mm black acrylic outline.
  • Combined raised profile: 6mm.
  • Matching standard front and rear pair: £74.99 before optional extras.

Choosing this finish

Choose Outline when the shape of the lettering is the feature you want to emphasise. Rotate the 3D preview to look at the raised outline, then compare it with Shadow. Both are layered black acrylic finishes with a 6mm profile, but their upper character details produce different appearances.

See Shadow for the alternative layered finish, or 4D 5mm Acrylic for a plain acrylic character face. You can keep the same registration and shape in the builder while comparing lettering.

Build your front and rear plates

Start from a matching standard pair at £74.99. Standard shape is included; Short adds £5 per plate and Hex adds £10. A printed black border is £1 per plate. Flags or a green flash are £2 per selected plate on Standard and Short.

Choose a single front, single rear or pair in the plate builder. Keep “Same as front” selected for matching options, or set the lettering, shape, flag and border separately for each side. The same registration appears on both plates.

Made to order in the UK

Paramount Plates makes your physical plates to order. Free Royal Mail Tracked 48 delivery is included with plate orders. Production follows identity and registration entitlement checks; see accepted documents. Our 36-month manufacturing warranty applies under its published terms.

Legal requirement

Sending us your documents.

To legally produce your number plates we’re required to verify your identity and entitlement to the registration. You can upload both after you order (a phone photo is fine); we’ll show you how.

Valid documents

Proof of identity

Any one of 6: Utility bill (gas, electricity or water), Landline or home broadband bill, Bank or building society statement, and 3 more — see our Valid Documents page. Bills and statements must be dated within the last 6 months.

Proof of entitlement

Any one of 9: Vehicle registration certificate (V5C or V5CNI), New keeper supplement (V5C/2 or V5C/2NI), Certificate of entitlement (V750 or V750NI), and 6 more — see our Valid Documents page.

Quickest option

A phone photo of your V5C logbook and your photocard driving licence, uploaded after you order. Just assigned a private registration online? The eV948 the DVLA gives you works too, but only for 3 working days.

FAQ

Questions about Outline plates.

Anything we haven’t covered here is on the full FAQ page, or a phone call away.

No. Outline has a full black acrylic base with an additional black outline layer on top. The outline adds detail to the raised construction.
