At LAKIN Custom Plate Brackets™ we design and manufacture number plate mounting brackets which overcome ALL the shortcomings of the standard methods of attaching number plates to both modern and older style vehicles.
Our brackets are designed to use ONLY the original, manufacturer supplied mounting points and we guarantee they will fit perfectly.
You might like to watch the short video on the right. This will give you an idea what we offer by demonstrating one of our brackets being fitted to an Audi A4.

The bracket for the Audi is a fairly straightforward design. We also make brackets to suit an enormous variety of plate styles and every conceivable mounting situation.
You can access a lot of information from the menus down the left side of the page, as well as the buttons immediately to the right.
Our number plate brackets:
- are custom made for exactly your make and model of vehicle.
- are CNC machined from 3.0 mm aluminium plate so they're light but strong.
- are supplied with all hardware necessary to mount securely.
- are designed to accept most plate frames or covers, however we recommend these.
- require NO measuring* or drilling^. A single screwdriver is all you need.
- are easily fitted by you, your garage or your car dealer.
- are the perfect way to protect your special/personal plates from damage for a fraction of the cost of the plates themselves.
- can come fitted with an integrated alarm trigger to prevent plate theft, if you choose.
*^ Some vehicles have no mounting holes or marks to indicate where the mounting screws go. In these cases you will need to take care to align the brackets properly and drill holes for the mounting screws, using our bracket as a template. The holes will only ever be in the plastic bumper - not the metal bodywork.
 |
Much of our work is helping customers to adapt a number plate which is too narrow to fit to the holes provided in the bumper. We treat each situation individually and, in all cases, end up with a neat and tidy solution; one which does NOT involve drilling extra holes in your vehicle.
|
Our brackets are designed to be unobtrusive. In fact, it's difficult to notice them when fitted. What you WILL notice though, is that your number plates always look neat and properly aligned. They remain securely mounted to your car, they take small knocks in their stride without bending, and they don't rattle or vibrate.
More importantly, your number plates can no longer damage your car. They won't chip or abrade your paintwork, they won't trap moisture behind them, thus reducing the chance of rusting. Our patent pending design means there are no metal parts in contact with your precious paintwork.
All too often we find we're called upon to tailor-make brackets to cover up holes left by large plates. If you've ordered a new vehicle and are planning to fit Euro plates (in fact, ANY plate bigger than the VIC 250mm x 100mm size) here's a tip:
|
In some instances, we may not be able to manufacture and deliver a set of brackets before you need to take delivery of your new vehicle. This needn't be a nuisance. Below, we explain how you can safely attach your number plates temporarily while you wait for your brackets to arrive.
