tax disc holder???

Hi all,
My car still has the naff BMW tax disc holder and I want to replace it with a more discreet version. Does anyone have any recommendations / links to a more suitable type?
Cheers

Tax discs are being scrapped towards the end of this year (if you can wait that long).

OMG (as the kids say) I was thinking this at lunchtime and nearly went to Halfords to see wot they got. Mines a big white blob with the slot for the AA card or similar.

Anyway, I'll order something as per the suggestions above by explosiv - I'm not waiting until October http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-25223631

Out of Interest, clearly the second link was included for comedy value, but would the first one look a bit... er... naff? I quite like it.

Thanks. Hellfrauds have silver and black Richbrook versions for £8.99... I quite like the black as it won't stand out too much.

I kept the dealer fitted white holder but carefully cut off the top card holder section so it's just the disc in a white square surround.

I cleaned my car for the first time yesterday so took the opportunity to change my tax disc holder to something more appropriate...well for me anyway
I went for a matt black holder (without those horrible screw heads) which I think blends in really nicely with the car. It was on offer too

I like the Magnetax the best. Discreet and easy to change the disc, and only £1.49!

Until who tell you to?

You can get spotted by a camera while driving with no tax disc and get a fine you know?

Can't wait till they're gone. Usually handy for the dealers phone number though!

I just have a plain black vinyl one, 99p from eBay. Can't wait for them to be abolished.

Garage sticker removed from the back window as soon as I got home too
