How to Customise a Car Miniature: Base Text, Number Plate and Colour

What can be customised on a car miniature

On our car miniatures, the base and the text on it are yours to change. You can put a name, a registration number, a date or a short line on the front of the display base, and you can ask for the car's colour and number plate to match your own. The standard size is 14cm to 16cm long including the base, and the price for the Innova and Venue models is ₹3,500 plus shipping.

Base text that works at this size

A miniature is small, so text should be short and bold. Our Venue sample carries “Congrats — Your's Big B” around the base in black on cream, which reads clearly from across a room. Good ideas are a name plus a word (“Karan's Ride”), a delivery date, or a short motto. As a rule of thumb, aim for fewer than about 25 characters; if you need a longer line, we can suggest how to break it up across the base.

Number plate and colour

The number plate on the miniature is printed in colour, so a real registration number can be added, which is the detail most owners notice first. Colour is another easy change: the Toyota Innova miniature in our photos is gold-beige and the Hyundai Venue miniature is matte black, but we can match your car's colour on request. Send photos of the real car from the side and front so we get the details right.

What to send and what happens next

Message us on WhatsApp with the model and colour, the base text exactly as you want it, the registration number if you want it on the plate, and the date you need it by. We confirm the design with you before printing and quote any change from the standard model. The price stays at ₹3,500 for the standard Innova and Venue builds; a different model or special request is quoted separately.

Care, display and gifting

The miniatures are made of PLA and meant for display on a desk or shelf, away from direct afternoon sun and heat. Gift packaging is available as an add-on at checkout, which makes them easy to hand over on delivery day. For ideas on where to put them, read our guide to displaying bike and car miniatures, and see new car delivery gift ideas for occasions.

Common questions

Can I put my number plate on a car miniature?+

Yes. Send the registration number on WhatsApp and we print it on the miniature's plate in colour.

How long can the base text be?+

Short is best — about 25 characters or fewer reads clearly on a 14–16cm model. We can suggest how to fit a longer line.

Can you make a model other than the Innova or Venue?+

Yes, by request. Share photos of your car on WhatsApp and we will quote a custom miniature before printing.
