On a serious note, it is interesting to see the 4 holes in the boot where the proper Fiat number plate holder fits. None of the dealers use this. In the case of my Panda the rear plate is attached by sticky pads.
So do they block off the 4 holes? If not, what happens to the water and muck that inevitably find its way into the panel through these holes?
We need answers to these questions, maybe you're the person to ask those questions for us.
 
Mine is fitted using the holes ..they have plugs to screw the number plate directly to..whoever fitted my plate on the rear must me cock eyed cos the plate is higher one side than the other..:rolleyes: and now the centre of the right hand side plug has disappeared inside the tailgate and needs a new one ..looks a bit dodgy getting the plug out to replace it so I'm getting some sticky pads to fit it back perfectly level..I'm going to cover the plugs with masking tape before doing it so water doesnt get in..

Looks really nice in the Red. I was torn between red and orange. Went for orange in the end.

My dealer used the holes as well and I was surprised that they opt to use 4 screws, when most manufacturers manage with just two! I think I'd have preferred them to use sticky pads as it looks neater though :D

Nice. Like the colour.

I really wish i hadn't taken the quick option of a car that was coming in with cumbia beige.

Mind you are after 6 months i'm wondering if i should have gone and got an aygo sport.

I really dunno what possessed Fiat to call a colour 'cumbia', rather unfortunate name to put it very politely. It doesn't look quite as bad as it sounds tho!

Why do you wanna get an Aygo? Has the Panda been naughty?

Well i'm not sure i do actually want an aygo. See my thread about falling out of love with the panda MJ.

I spotted it a few moments after i wrote my last comment, so have read through that too! If you've already got the Integra id keep the Panda as the sensible car. Maybe give the 100HP a test drive but be very sure you want it before getting it coz a few people seem to only keep the 100HP a few months due to ride, tyre wear & other niggly problems that don't seem to affect the other Pandas.
