On my previous L322’s the rear plate was larger than the front but on my L405 it is the same size and doesn’t look ‘right’! Can anyone tell me what the correct dimensions are for the rear plates so that I can order a replacement please?

I have the larger one on the rear which is a private plate.

I’ve had the same plates on all my cars since 2006, so 2 RR Sports, a Freelander 2, L322 FFRR and the current L405. The back one is bigger. I’d need to measure them for size though.

I got one from a dealer, duckworths actually the site sponsor it was cheaper than Halfords and the correct larger size  Sold - Bell a 2015 MY16 Loire Blue Autobiography 4.4 SDV8
Previously George a 2007 MY07 Java Black VSE 3.6 TDV8
Previously a 04 MY04 Defender 90

When I swapped mine out I went a 20.5 X 5.5 (520mm x 140mm) on the rear which is 1.1" taller than the front plate, this was the same size as the dealer plate supplied originally. 2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB
Gone 2011 Bournville TDV8 VSE
Gone 2008 Black Canadian HSE LUX

The L322 ones were 'Oversize Plate 533 x 152mm' at the dealer group I worked for.

@nickt68,

My rear plate is larger, trapezoidal with rounded corners, rather than just a plain rectangle, fitted by local Syntner LR Dealer,
so must be a proper JLR part. Looks really nice on the car, fills out the rear numberplate area well. I’d try to get this one if you can.  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Thanks everyone, much appreciated

Sorry but I’m on holiday now for a few weeks, but I’ll post a pic asap.

The L405 does have two crease lines in the rear panel which flare out towards the top, so the rouded-off trapedoidal shape does look much better than straightforward rectangle. IMHO it looks more upmarket and OEM.

There must be a pic on the t’interweb in the meantime? “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Unfortunately not, all L405 plates on the web are rectangular as this is factory standard.

The actual recess (the flat bit, where the plate mounts) on the L405 is rectangular, hence a rectangular plate...

I had to have a rectangular rear plate because I couldn't spell trapezoidal.... Pete
