Aston Martin DB2 Bodywork No. Plate Surround for Square Plates
New- DB MK III
- DB2/4 MK I
- DB2/4 MK II
Handmade brass rear number plate surround housings designed for square‑type plates fitted to the bodywork of a variety of DB2 models, and certainly the DB MK III. Each housing accommodates the specific dimensions and mounting requirements of period‑correct square number plate sizing.
This surround type mounts directly to the vehicle’s bodywork rather than the boot‑lid, and comes supplied as a single unit.
Derived from drawings and measurements taken from original factory parts, these surrounds are fabricated using our proprietary DMark® custom tooling, jigs, patterns and aids developed and refined over time.
We’re also happy to accommodate customers requiring custom sizing or modifications specific to their particular number plate dimensions or vehicle when provided with appropriate measurements and specifications.
DMark® also offers a similar number plate surround housing designed for oblong plates, for customers requiring the standard rectangular plate format fitted to models that featured this configuration.
The factory specification measures 14″ from inside edge across (maximum width of number plate accommodation).
All DMark® DB2 rear number plate surround housings are finished as polished brass, meticulously prepared and chrome‑ready.
Customers may receive their new number plate housings in polished brass or chrome plated. DMark® partners exclusively with established, reputable electroplating specialists who share our exacting quality standards.
DB2 rear number plate surround housings are essentially bolt‑on components, so many clients prefer us to manage the chrome plating process. However, we understand that some customers prefer to handle plating themselves particularly when coordinating comprehensive restoration work and batching chrome components together after dry‑fitting.
Primarily made‑to‑order.
Complete fixtures and fasteners (nuts and bolts) are supplied with every housing.
Customers should be aware that vehicles with extensive repairs may have altered bodywork geometry due to paintwork processes and body filler usage, which can subtly affect panel shape where surrounds are positioned. We have taken considerable care to replicate the most authentic original geometry, though this may occasionally differ from a vehicle’s current surface characteristics. Similarly, stud hole positions in bodywork may vary from new DMark® component specifications and minor adjustments may occasionally be required to achieve optimal fitment.
This number plate surround houses square‑style number plates and mounts directly to the vehicle’s bodywork rather than the boot‑lid, maintaining period‑correct authenticity for models equipped with this configuration.
Manufactured to customer‑specified dimensions accommodating non‑standard or regional number plate requirements.
Bespoke rear number plate housing for square‑type number plates that mount to the vehicle’s bodywork. Our custom variant can accommodate any width or height, providing customers the flexibility to house any size number plate configuration.
Some models even featured number plate surrounds that housed the number plate entirely and wrapped underneath. We can manufacture this rarer version when customers supply their actual number plate dimensions or the plate itself for precise templating.
Customisation
This variant accommodates specific dimensional requirements unique to individual vehicles or regional number plate specifications. We welcome various forms of specification data including detailed measurements, annotated diagrams, hand‑drawn sketches, photographs, CAD drawings, or even period factory documentation.
Number plate dimensions and mounting configurations have varied considerably across different periods and markets. Our flexible bespoke manufacturing capabilities ensure precise accommodation of any specific plate size or styling requirement.
