Euro plates VIC

In VIC, 80% of the euro plates I see on road are black, they don't look as authentic but I get it why people prefer black to white plates.

Anyway I was going to order a black euro plate until I saw these pictures from 1addicts, my car is also mineral grey and the white plate somehow looks better to me.

What do you think? Black or white? Would you go for the standard size or mini plates?

I like the white plates against the darker body. As for size, i originally had the large size euro plate on the front but it gets in the way of the front park sensor so it's always beeping. Had to change it to the mini.

Definitely go mini plates. I've got mini plates on mine and they seem to be of right proportions. I'd say black on MG. I think white will contrast too much.

Had white euros on RS e46M3 and then VO 1M. Switched to slimline black euros on VO 1M and MR 235. Like black ones better. Less conspicuous.

On my wife's MG 228i, she has gone for full size front and back (using Lakin plates brackets) and has gone for the Euro Premium plates with silver background and black lettering.

So there's another option...

I made an order today for Premium euro black plates, I think white stands out a little too much and I have a mineral grey car. Also when did Euro plates go up to $400 I remember getting them like 8 years ago and it was like $100 ish lol

I had that problem too. I hated it! I figured out that you can fix it by mounting the plate flush to the bumper like this....



You'll get to look cool with your Euro plate and still have functioning PDC.

BTW, I vote for the white plate also.

I thought we were getting ripped lol,

Apparently they use to make all number plates in Prison the lady at the RTA was telling me then they moved to another supplier so the price went up 4 times.
