I might be imagining it, but there seems to be a fair few cars around now where the number plates have raised/3d/solid lettering.
Is this a new thing?
Why do it?

Yet ANOTHER benefit of Brexit. Those EU morons and their flat number plates can do one. 3D all the way for the mighty UK.

Same as personalised plates.....LOOK AT ME.
I can’t say I’ve noticed any yet but I’m guessing it’s the car owners with personal plates that buy them, usually have a plate that sort of spells their name, then a space followed by an X….odd
Seems that having a backfiring exhaust is also a novelty these days

4d? So that's the point - you can travel in time if you have one of these plates!
Yeah, I'm not sure any I've seen were personalised - all looked regular-issued registrations.

Maybe they show up better on speed cameras and they are going to become compulsory 
my cars nearly 60 years old and has '3D' number plates. No plate fashion has its moments, remember thos awful black silver perspex/foil ones in the 80's?
You know, for kids.

I was in a well known DIY shop recently and saw glitter for tile grout. Is there no limit to how low you can go with glitter?
