Number plate surrounds, or no number plate surrounds?

[C.A.R.]

Surrounds look cheap and tacky IMO. Better off without.

I thought this, but on the other hand I gave in and fitted them to my Cabbie. They were high quality, looked good and meant that I didn't need to drill my plates - simply slot in and lock into place. The ones the OP linked don't look great imo, mine had nice dome badges along the bottom edge and looked of higher quality. I'll see if I can find a pic...

EDIT:
Here, although looking at my pictures I never fitted one to the front; just the back -
