License plate colour/style for Alpine White?

Just wondering what others think about which looks better on an alpine white m135i - white or black plates ? euro style or slimline?

Euro plates look good (btw cozza how did you get such a clean look for the plates with no holes - ?adhesive), but the above looks alright too....

I have the white on black personalised plates - there's a front photo of mine in that thread. I prefer the simplicity of these but the shape of the Euro plates might suit the design of the car a little better. Also on the rear diffuser there are little pre-drilled marks for the broader plates which aren't covered by my smaller ones.

Spree,

It's a legitimate question. At least you opted for the AW - it reduces the options a bit. I've ordered my 125 in EB and in NSW (like VIC) when you move to colours, the number of choices is almost as bad as the BMW options catalogue.......

Good point johnnydad... I was thinking about getting a 4 letter or 5 letter plate... perhaps it'll be a bit short of the holes on the back.. then looks weird. How obvious is it on yours?

Also... if one goes the larger euro plates... a frame around it (to hide drill holes etc) might look too big on the front (cozza's looks good because there's no frame to bulk it up; likewise those white borderless uk ones).

Thanks ttimbo, I see you went with the bigger rear one to fill up the space. Looks good... black blends in with the rear diffuser.
