Licence Plate Frame

bmwarg · 11-19-2013, 07:32 PM

I have a 2008 Alpine White BMW 335i sedan. Any recommendations for license plate frames that don't have "BMW" written on them? Two that I am considering:

1. matching alpine white painted frame http://www.bavauto.com/lview.asp?img...500/ppfaan.jpg

2. carbon fiber with M stripes frame http://www.scopioneusa.com/scopione-...ign-decal.html

Do you think carbon frame looks nice on a white car?

I found a white carbon frame (without M decal): http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Carbo...069282607.html

I run frameless.

Neither. I like my black frame with BMW on it.

I have a thin, gloss black frame with no branding on alpine white. Looks good to me.

Frameless is the way to go. Frames are bad, frames with text on them are tacky.

ok, no frames it is. easier than trying to choose a nice one. on another note, has anyone taken off the black frame base located in the front bumper? Is there something nicer than the bulky black plastic that contrasts poorly with the alpine white bumper.
