Replacement number plates for your Suzuki
Order here and we'll make your replacement plate against your exact registration, from a Swift to a Jimny of any generation.
The Jimny you can buy new today isn't the one you remember
If you're picturing the regular five-door Jimny, it's worth knowing that was withdrawn from UK and European sale roughly three years ago on emissions grounds. What Suzuki UK sells today instead is the Jimny Commercial, a two-seat version classed for commercial use, with the rear seats and windows removed to meet the different rules that apply to commercial vehicles. If you're replacing a plate for an older five-door Jimny, that's no problem, your registration and plate size aren't affected by the car's sale status, and nothing about ordering a plate changes because the body style was altered for the commercial version.
What this means for your plate choice
Whether you drive an older five-door Jimny or the current Jimny Commercial, the plate options are the same. The Jimny's boxy, upright shape suits a 4D 3mm plate, which gives a crisp, no-nonsense look that fits the car's character without looking out of place on a working vehicle.
The e-Vitara and the rest of Suzuki's range
The e-Vitara is Suzuki's fully electric model, and it's the only current Suzuki that qualifies for a green flash plate. The standard Vitara is a hybrid, and the Across is a plug-in hybrid, so neither qualifies despite the name similarity to the e-Vitara. If you're ordering a green flash plate, it's worth double-checking your exact model and powertrain on your V5C before you confirm.
Finish suggestions by model
- e-Vitara: a 4D gel plate suits its rounded, modern styling well.
- Vitara and Across: a 3D Gel plate gives a smart lift without clashing with their more conventional SUV look.
- Swift: this small hatchback suits a standard plate or 3D Gel if you want a touch more depth.
- S-Cross: a 4D 3mm plate works well on its slightly larger, more angular panels.
Fitting and caring for your plate
Suzuki models generally use a standard screw-fit surround. Our fitting guide covers the fitting steps in full. On the Jimny Commercial, the rear plate sits on the tailgate rather than a bumper, so support the plate with one hand while fitting the final screw to avoid it twisting out of line. Once fitted, a 3D or 4D plate stays sharper for longer with a soft cloth and car shampoo rather than dry wiping. Our cleaning and maintenance guide explains the method.
A couple of things worth checking before you order
- Confirm your registration spacing against your current plate or V5C, rather than from memory.
- If your old plate was fixed with sticky pads, clean off the residue fully so the new one sits flat.
Keeping your Suzuki plate street legal
Our road legal plates are made to the DVLA's published rules (BS AU 145e), and we check ID and entitlement documents before we make one. If you want a plate for show use only, our page on road legal plates and show plates explains the difference.

Suzuki replacement plate FAQs
Q: Can I still order a plate for my five-door Jimny even though it's no longer sold new?
Yes, ordering a replacement plate isn't affected by whether the model is still on sale.
Q: Does the Vitara qualify for a green flash?
No, the standard Vitara is a hybrid, not fully electric. Only the e-Vitara qualifies.
Q: How long does a replacement plate take to make?
See our delivery and returns page for current timings.
Q: Can I get a show-only plate instead of a road legal one?
Yes, our page on road legal plates and show plates explains how to order the right one.
Q: Is the Jimny Commercial allowed to be driven on normal roads?
Yes, it's a fully type-approved vehicle for UK roads, just registered and classed differently from the five-door passenger version it replaced.
Q: Does the e-Vitara share parts with the standard Vitara's plate fitting?
Yes, both use the same fixing positions, so a replacement plate fits either version the same way.
Q: Can I order a plate before my Jimny Commercial is delivered?
Yes, as long as you already have the registration from the dealer, you can order ahead so the plate is ready for collection day.
Q: What if I've swapped my Jimny's body panels or bumper?
If the plate recess has changed from standard, check the size carefully before ordering, since a modified bumper can sometimes take a different plate size than the factory fit.
