A single Plateless kit covers one plate location — plastic bumper or steel tailgate. The Duo Kit covers both ends in one order, with your choice of combination, for less than buying two kits separately.
One order. Both ends. Better value.
A lot of Plateless customers start by buying a single kit for one plate location — and then come back for a second when they decide they want the other end done too. The Plateless Duo Kit exists to save you that second order, and it costs less than buying two individual kits separately.
Here's how the two approaches compare.
Buying a single kit
A single Plateless kit covers one number plate location. When you order, you choose the kit that suits your surface:
- Multi Plate Kit – Plastic Bumper — for a front or rear plate location with a plastic surface. Works on the vast majority of modern cars.
- Steel The Show – Steel Tailgate Kit — for a rear plate location on a steel tailgate. Ideal for vans, pickups, and 4x4s.
A single kit is the right choice if you genuinely only want one end done — for example, just the front for track days, or just the rear tailgate on a van.
But if you already know you want both plates removable, buying two individual kits separately costs more than going straight to the Duo.
Buying the Plateless Duo Kit
The Plateless Duo Kit covers both your front and rear number plate locations in a single order — and you choose the combination that suits your vehicle at checkout:
- Plastic front + plastic rear — for cars where both plate locations are on plastic bumpers
- Plastic front + steel tailgate — for vehicles where the front is plastic and the rear plate mounts to a steel tailgate
Whatever your setup — hatchback, saloon, van, pickup, or 4x4 — there's a Duo combination that fits, without needing to mix and match separate products.
Single kit vs Duo Kit — at a glance
| Single Kit | Duo Kit | |
|---|---|---|
| Covers one plate location | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes, but designed for front and back |
| Covers both front & rear | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| Choose plastic bumper kit | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes (per location) |
| Choose steel tailgate kit | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes (per location) |
| Mix plastic + steel in one order | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| Better value than two singles | — | ✅ Yes |
When to buy a single kit
A single kit makes sense if you only want one plate location covered. Pick the plastic bumper kit for a plastic surface, or the steel tailgate kit for a metal tailgate — whichever matches your vehicle.
When to go straight to the Duo
If you want both ends plate-free — or you know you'll want the other end done eventually — the Duo Kit is the better buy from the start. Choose your two-kit combination at checkout, cover both locations in one order, and save money compared to buying separately.
