Give your vehicle an instant upgrade with our UK Hex Number Plates. Inspired by the sharp, angular rear aesthetics of Lamborghini supercars, these custom-shaped plates replace the standard rectangular look with a dynamic, geometric design.
At Alphabet Plates UK, we use precision laser-cutting technology to create Hex plates that fit your registration perfectly. Whether you drive a hatchback, saloon, or SUV, a Hex plate adds a modern, aggressive touch that sets your car apart.
We don’t just cut the shape; we style the digits. You can combine the unique Hex shape with any of our premium text styles:
A clean, flush finish. Perfect for those who want the angular "Lambo" shape but prefer a smooth, traditional surface.
Combine the custom shape with our 3D Gel Resin characters. The raised, glossy profile of the letters complements the sharp edges of the plate, giving your vehicle a premium, high-end look.
The ultimate upgrade. We mount precision-cut 4D Acrylic digits onto the Hex plate. The sharp edges of the 4D block text match perfectly with the angular corners of the plate for a fully aggressive, modern aesthetic.
Get the aggressive "Lambo" look on any vehicle.
Manufactured to BS AU 145e standards with correct margins and font.
Laser-cut symmetry that suits 6 and 7-digit registrations perfectly.
Available in standard print, 3D Gel, 4D Laser, or 4D Gel finishes.
Our Hex number plates are manufactured to exact DVLA standards, combining a custom angular design with full road-legal compliance.

Hex plates are completely legal on the road.
There is a common myth that only rectangular plates are allowed. This is untrue. Although a rectangular shape is not required by the DVLA regulations (BS AU 145e), they do specify font size, spacing, and margins (11 mm from the character to the edge).
As long as the plate provides the correct reflective background and maintains the mandatory 11mm border around your registration, the Hex shape is fully compliant. At Alphabet Plates UK, we ensure every Hex plate we cut meets these strict legal requirements, so you pass your MOT with no issues.
Supercar Aesthetic: Achieve the "Lambo style" look without altering your bodywork.
Precision Laser Cut:Uniform, neatly trimmed edges perfectly cut
Durable Material: Made from impact-resistant, high grade acrylic.
Easy Installation: Compatible with most standard bumpers (ideal for flat recesses).
Because Hex plates have cut-out corners, we highly recommend using our Extra Strong Sticky Pads for installation.
Avoid Screws:Drilling holes near the angular corners can cause cracking if not done carefully. Sticky pads provide a cleaner, screw-free look that suits the modern style of the plate.
Check Your Recess Hex plates work best on flat bumpers. If your car has a curved or tightly boxed number plate recess, please measure the space to ensure the angular shape will fit.
If you would like to compare shapes or finishes before ordering, you can browse our plate sizes guide to see how different formats fit various vehicles, explore our plate styles for 3D and 4D designs, or start creating your registration using our online plate builder.
Find answers to the most common questions about ordering number plates online.
Hex designs are popular on sports cars, prestige models and modified vehicles, including Lamborghini models, especially where the front bumper has a smaller or sculpted recess.
You can compare measurements in our plate sizes guide or contact our team for advice before placing your order.
Yes. Hex formats can be produced in a range of finishes, including standard printed options and raised 3D or 4D designs.
Hex plates are an alternative shape chosen for styling reasons. Many drivers still use standard oblong plates, while others prefer hex designs for vehicles with compact or sculpted bumpers.
