Default Smiley plates vs rectangular, opinions please

What are people's thoughts on rear number plates on the 75.. I've got a rectangular one fitted at the moment and I think it makes the rear end look cleaner than my wife's that has the smiley plates..
I need a new set to replace as they're a bit tatty so opinions welcome..

The smiley plate suits these cars perfectly, the same goes for the jaguar. The universal rectangle plate just looks wrong, cheap like something is missing.

Its really up to you, if you dont like the standard shape plate, that is perfectly fine.
