I hated the heavy-looking black 'box' that mounted the front number plate on the front bumper, so I removed it and got a self-adhesive plate made, shrunk to 90% from the standard NZ size. the black mount is a wide one for a Singapore car, which takes long plates, about the size of a UK plate. Our NZ plates are much smaller.
I am really happy with the appearance - gone is the nose-heavy look that the protruding number plate gave the car, and the side profile is much nicer

You're lucky to be in a jurisdiction which allows alternative plates. At least the format is limited in height.
You should take a look at most North American plates which are all higher and narrower. A limited number of states at least put some thought into the graphics, and a rare few use something other than a rectangle.
They are all otherwise universally ugly and fragile. The only recent design "improvements" are more reflective backgrounds to suit laser guns.

I really love that in Arizona, we aren't required to display a front plate at all, so none of mine have one! Front plates seem awkward to display on most cars, the X300 no exception. Also the USA cars have a narrower plate area on the boot, as compared to UK and ROW cars, to suit the narrow plate. A thoughtful touch.
Clever idea, AL!
