FAQs
Can I leave these on my car in the rain?
Yes, they are weather-resistant; however, it is advised to remove them periodically to wipe away moisture and dirt from behind the magnet.
Will these damage my car paint?
No, provided the surface is clean before application. Dirt trapped between the magnet and the paint can cause light scratches, so always keep the contact surface clean.
Are these legal to use on all roads?
Yes, as long as they are the correct size and color, magnetic L plates are fully legal for learners throughout the UK.
Can I put these on a plastic bumper?
No, they will only adhere to metallic, magnetic surfaces.
Do I need to remove them when a qualified driver is behind the wheel?
Yes, L plates should be removed or covered when the vehicle is not being driven by a learner, as required by law.
Troubleshooting
Plate won't stay attached to the vehicle
Check if the car panel is made of steel. If it is, ensure both the panel and the magnet surface are completely clean and free of debris.
The plate is curling at the edges
Store the plates on a flat metal surface when not in use. If they have curled due to improper storage, lay them flat under a heavy book for several hours to regain their shape.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Easy to remove and swap between vehicles
- No risk of permanent adhesive residue on paint
- Durable enough for long-term repeated use
- Strong magnets prevent accidental detachment
Cons
- Will not stick to non-metallic body panels like plastic or fiberglass
- Requires clean surface to ensure full magnetic contact
- Must be removed regularly to prevent paint moisture entrapment
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility
These plates require a steel surface to attach. Before purchasing, verify your vehicle bodywork by checking if a standard fridge magnet sticks to the target areas (bonnet and boot). They are not suitable for vehicles with aluminum, plastic, or composite body panels.
Setup
- Ensure the car body is clean and dry.
- Place the plate carefully on the desired location.
- Press down firmly from the center toward the edges to eliminate air pockets.
Care
To prolong the life of both the plates and your car paint, remove the plates weekly. Wash the magnetic backing with mild soapy water to remove accumulated dirt, and clean the car surface underneath. Store the plates flat when not in use to maintain their shape.
