Re: Opinions Pls



Are we talking about the 'completely not a real registration number' or the bit at the bottom?

The design of the plate, not sure whether to lose the border or not. Obviously I'd put my real reg in when buying

Re: Opinions Pls

Can't decide between these two although I am leaning toward the top one.

Don't think I would get pulled for the badge, hopefully not anyway.

Which one do you think I should go for?

Re: Opinions Pls

Why advertise that its a grande punto? People know what it is. Also, no offence, but i wouldn't like to advertise that i only had 65bhp . I'd just have 1.2 8V DYNAMIC.

Re: Opinions Pls

Also why not use the new Fiat logo?

Your chances of being pulled over are slim, but I got done for not displaying a space.

Re: Opinions Pls

Why not just drive round with a big sign on your roof saying "POLICE...please stop me"

Re: Opinions Pls

Personally, i'd have neither. Looks abit tacky in my opinion.

I wouldnt have the Fiat logo - simply because it isn't legal and your just giving the police a reason to stop you and look around the car more intensly for other offences. Plus, there are already 6 Fiat logos on the exterior of the car.

And I wouldn't have the small writing at the bottom. Imagine the scenario, your driving along when the driver behind wonders what the writing says, so moves closer to inspect - you then suddenly break for whatever reason and you'd be having to exchange insurance details.

I just went for a standard number plate, no borders, no EU Logo, no dealers writing etc. Just the registration letters, and personally I think it looks better.

People won't nick it if they know it's a 1.2L

Dunno what to go for after comments now. Definitely gonna lose the border though. Might drop the small writing and just go for the lettering and the black GB/Fiat logo

I doubt it, being a 1.2 does not mean its never going to get stolen.
If you want to display the engine size etc why not have a rear window strip/logo with it in rather than risking being pulled over for an illegal number pate.

Re: Opinions Pls

Niether of them does it for me. Ive got mine simple with just the euro flag, and my persnalised reg. I dont like plates with to much on it, reminds me of what old blokes put on their old sierras along with chrome strips around the windows, and does earthing strips at the back of the car..

Totally agree sledge. If you have the Fiat logo on the number plate, no doubt you will only complain if/when the police do pull you over for it.
