Cerium license plate frame?

Just kidding. I would like to get a frame for my wife's Alpine white X3, though. What color would go well with the current cerium trim that she won't let me swap out for black? Don't care for any logos or pithy sayings.

IND sells color matched frames.

I second the IND paint matched license plate frame. White on a white car actually goes well.

I've been considering getting a Glacier Silver one. Looks good in AW.

If it makes you feel any better, mine won't let me swap out for black either. I don't mind it as much as others here though, it's still unique for BMW on the M powered cars and with PPF on the mirrors and vents it makes it a little darker and doesn't go multicolor with water spots or fingerprints.

I really like the Alpine white frame. Looks great! Does ceramic coating keep the cerium from going multi-color?
