Maserati Number Plates: Replacement Plates for Every Maserati, Electric or Petrol
Need new Maserati number plates for a Grecale Folgore, a petrol GranTurismo or an older Quattroporte? We make them as a front and rear pair or as a single plate, all one size at 520mm x 111mm, with a Standard pair at £25. Owners of electric cars ask about the green flash first, so that comes first, followed by a table of every model.
Which Maserati number plates can have a green flash?
Only a pure battery electric Maserati can have one, and today that means three cars: the GranTurismo Folgore, the GranCabrio Folgore and the Grecale Folgore. Every other Maserati runs on petrol or diesel, including the ones with a mild hybrid system, so none of them qualifies.
The GranTurismo Folgore was the first all-electric Maserati. It has three electric motors and no combustion engine, and UK orders opened in February 2024. GranCabrio Folgore is an all-electric four-seat convertible. Grecale Folgore is also all-electric, and it is sold alongside the four-cylinder mild hybrid Grecale GT and Modena and the V6 Trofeo, which do not qualify.
Before you pick the green flash badge, run through these checks:
- Read the fuel type on your V5C and in the car's own paperwork. Do not rely on the badge on the boot or a seller's description.
- Treat the name "Folgore" as a clue, not proof. Your paperwork decides.
- Mild hybrid, hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars do not get a green flash. That rules out the Levante and the Grecale GT and Modena.
- If your Maserati is petrol or diesel, pick one of the other badges or none. Our colour badged number plates page shows the full badge list.
Maserati number plates by model: green flash, power and the finish we would start with
| Model | Sold | Power | Green flash | Finish to start with |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GranTurismo Folgore | UK orders from February 2024 | Electric, three motors | Yes | 4D 5mm or Black Diamond |
| GranCabrio Folgore | UK debut in 2024 | Electric, four-seat convertible | Yes | 3D Gel or 4D 5mm |
| Grecale Folgore | UK orders from March 2024 | Electric, two motors | Yes | 3D Gel |
| Grecale GT and Modena | From December 2022 | Four-cylinder mild hybrid | No | Standard or 3D Gel |
| Grecale Trofeo | From December 2022 | V6 petrol | No | 5D Gel or Black Diamond |
| GranTurismo and GranCabrio, petrol | First cars to 2019, new ones from 2023 and 2024 | Petrol | No | 4D 5mm or Black Diamond |
| Levante | 2016 to March 2024 | Petrol, diesel, mild hybrid | No | Standard or 4D 5mm |
| Ghibli and Quattroporte | Ghibli 2013 to 2024, Quattroporte to 2023 | Combustion engines | No | Standard or 4D 3mm |
| MC20 and MCPura | MC20 from 2020, renamed MCPura for 2026 | 3.0 V6 petrol | No | Black Diamond or 5D Gel |
The green flash column is the only place the electric split changes your order. Every car in the table gets the same plate size and the same legal format. What differs is the space on the car, so measure yours before you order.
Do I have to put a green flash on my Maserati Folgore number plates?
No. In our builder the plain green flash is one choice in a free badge list, next to no badge, GB with stars, UK, ENG, CYM and SCO. A Folgore owner can leave it off. If you do add it, it is a badge only: any benefit tied to an electric car, such as a local scheme, varies by council, and we cannot promise you a saving because of it.
Ghibli, Quattroporte and Levante number plates: Maseratis that have ended but are still on the road
All three have finished production and none was ever electric, so there is no green flash option for any of them.
- Ghibli. The modern Ghibli ran from 2013 to 2024. Do not confuse it with the Ghibli of 1967 to 1973, which is a classic car and has its own section further down.
- Quattroporte. Production of the current generation ended in 2023. An electric Quattroporte has been pushed back to 2028, so none exists yet.
- Levante. Sold from 2016 to March 2024, with a 2.0 petrol mild hybrid, a 3.0 V6 petrol, a 3.0 V6 diesel and a 3.8 V8 Trofeo. Its mild hybrid does not qualify for a green flash.
For a factory look on any of these, our Standard plates are the clean choice, with flat printed characters.
GranTurismo, GranCabrio, Grecale and MCPura number plates: the newer Maseratis
- GranTurismo. A coupe. The first generation ran from 2007 to 2019 and the second began in 2023, with petrol Modena and Trofeo versions. The Folgore is the electric one.
- GranCabrio. The four-seat convertible. The first generation ran from 2010 to 2019. The second began in 2024 with the petrol Trofeo, and the Folgore followed.
- Grecale. A mid-size SUV, in UK showrooms from December 2022. GT and Modena are mild hybrid, the Trofeo is a 530hp V6, and the Folgore is the only electric one.
- MC20 and MCPura. A mid-engined coupe with a 3.0 twin-turbo V6. The MC20 was renamed MCPura for the 2026 refresh, and the Cielo is the convertible. Either name, the plate is made from your registration, not the badge.
Which finish suits Maserati number plates on dark, white or silver paint?
Dark paint shows a raised finish best, while white and silver paint suit a flatter one. This is our guidance from how the finishes catch the light. Here is how we would match them:
- Black, dark grey or deep blue paint. The shadow under raised characters shows clearly, so 4D 5mm plates give the strongest effect. That 5mm acrylic reads as the more premium option on a darker car.
- White or silver paint. The shadow gets lost against a pale panel, and flatter finishes often read more cleanly. Standard or 3D Gel is the better pick.
- Performance and luxury models. 5D Gel plates and Black Diamond plates are the ones owners of these cars choose most. Black Diamond puts diamond-cut detail on each character so it catches the light, while the backgrounds stay white at the front and yellow at the rear.
- Daily drivers. Standard or 3D Gel keeps the look close to factory and the cost down.
On price, a pair of 3D Gel is £38, 4D 5mm is £50 and 5D Gel is £64, so stepping from 3D Gel to 5D Gel adds £26. Black Diamond is £60 a pair at the introductory price. 5D Gel is the deepest finish, so check the depth of your recess before you order it.
How do I fit Maserati number plates on a low front bumper?
Measure the space first, then use screws if the car has fixing points. Tape can work, but only on a smooth, flat panel.
We have no fitting measurements for individual Maserati models, so these checks apply whichever car you drive. They matter most on a front end that sits close to the road:
- Measure the recess and the surround against 520mm x 111mm. Do this for the front and the rear, because they may not match.
- Look at how your front plate is held today: bracket, screws or tape. Order with that in mind.
- Use screws where the car has fixing points. They are the more reliable fix.
- Use sticky pads only on a smooth, flat panel in normal weather. A fitting kit can be added to your order.
- If the front end sits low and takes knocks, consider ordering two fronts and one rear, so a spare is ready.
- Replace a plate that has cracked or is lifting at the edges, as it can fail an MOT.
Our fitting guide walks through both methods. Raised 4D and gel plates need gentler cleaning than flat ones: a soft cloth, light pressure and no scrubbing.
Classic Maserati number plates: Mistral, Sebring, Ghibli, Bora and the 1980 cut-off
A Maserati built before 1 January 1980 can be eligible for black and silver plates, but DVLA historic vehicle conditions also apply. Any car built on or after that date must show white at the front and yellow at the rear, reflective.
- The Mistral, Sebring, Ghibli (1967 to 1973), Indy and the first Quattroportes were all built before the cut-off.
- The Khamsin, Bora and Merak ran past it. A car built on or after 1 January 1980 does not qualify, so check the build date, not the model name.
- A classic owner who wants the original look should read our black and silver rules before changing anything on the road.
Can I order Maserati number plates for a cherished registration?
Yes. We make the physical plate from the registration on your V5C. We do not sell registrations, so you need to own or hold entitlement to the one you enter.
The builder takes up to 10 characters including spaces. In road legal mode the spacing is applied for you, so a short registration simply sits centred with more blank plate at the ends. Check the live preview before you pay.
Road legal Maserati number plates or show plates: what is the difference?
A road legal plate is made to the DVLA's published rules (BS AU 145e), and a show plate is for display only, never for a public road. We check ID and entitlement documents before we make a road legal plate.
- Road legal. Black characters, 79mm high, on a white front and a yellow rear, both reflective. Spacing and font are set for you, and you pick only a badge and a border.
- Show. Your own spacing, badges and text along the bottom. It suits a car on a stand or in a photo, but not one on the road. Our show plates page covers the options.
Driving with incorrectly displayed plates can fail your MOT and bring a fine of up to £1,000, according to the gov.uk displaying number plates page.
How do I order Maserati number plates without mistakes?
Use the builder and check the registration against your V5C before you pay. The most common slips we catch are O typed as 0 and I typed as 1.
- Open the number plate maker and type your registration, with letters, numbers and spaces only.
- Choose road legal for any car that will be driven.
- Pick your style from the seven on offer.
- Set the front and rear quantities. Set one to 0 for a single plate.
- Add a badge or border if you want one. Both are free.
- Check the live preview against your V5C, then add it to your basket.

- Delivery is free on orders over £30, by Tracked24, across the UK.

What would we put on a Maserati? Our verdict on Maserati number plates
Verdict: for a Folgore, we would order a 3D Gel pair with the green flash, which is £38 and keeps a pale or silver car looking clean. For a dark petrol GranTurismo, GranCabrio or MCPura, 4D 5mm at £50 or Black Diamond at £60 gives the strongest look. For a Ghibli, Quattroporte or Levante you want to keep close to factory, Standard at £25 is right. On any low front end, add a spare front plate.

Maserati number plate questions: size, green flash, 4D and fitting
Q: Are 4D number plates legal on a Maserati?
They can be. Our 4D plates in road legal mode are made to BS AU 145e, with the spacing and font set for you, so the raised acrylic is only a finish. Show mode plates are display only. If the car is driven on the road, use road legal mode every time.
Q: Can I put a green flash on Maserati Levante or mild hybrid Grecale number plates?
No. Only a pure battery electric car qualifies, and mild hybrids of every kind are ruled out, along with plug-in hybrids. On a Maserati, that leaves only the three Folgore models. If you are unsure which you have, check the fuel type on your V5C before choosing a badge.
Q: What size is a Maserati number plate?
We make one size, 520mm x 111mm, front and rear. The space on your car depends on the model, the bumper and anything fitted to it, so measure your recess and surround before you order. If the space looks clearly smaller, call us on 07747 744407 before you buy.
Q: Can I order Maserati number plates for a cherished registration?
Yes. Type the registration into the builder exactly as it appears on your V5C, up to 10 characters including spaces. We make the plate and do not sell registrations, so you must already hold the one you enter. The live preview shows the result before you pay.
Q: Can I order just the front or rear Maserati number plate?
Yes. Set the other quantity to 0 in the builder. A single Standard plate is £15 and a single 4D 5mm plate is £26. Single plates fall under the £30 free delivery line, so a pair or a set of three often makes better sense if you want a spare.
Q: Should I use screws or sticky pads on a Maserati number plate?
Screws are the more reliable fix, so use them wherever your car has fixing points. Sticky pads suit a smooth, flat panel in normal weather. A fitting kit can be added to your order, and our fitting guide shows both methods step by step.
Q: Which Maserati number plate finish is easiest to keep clean?
Standard, because flat plates take a firmer wipe. Raised finishes such as 4D, gel and Black Diamond need gentler cleaning, so use a soft cloth and light pressure and avoid scrubbing.
