i dont no then, dvla said it had to be black.....

If they do me i'll tell them to talk to Halfords lol, should get there license revoked if there illegal. I doubt there will be a problem. Also looks cool your front plate mate.

I dont know why you are fretting so much about plates. Never had a problem with mine:

its doesnt have to be black,
i work at halfords, al our plates have the halfords logo and the postcode. If it wasnt legal we wouldnt sell them :idea:

yup that what i thought to be honest, i aint fretting lol. By the way your black plate looks great

Apart from the crease at on the bonnet which is in for de badging and re spraying this sat!! Wat do u think of the square plate and the ice white LED's at the front ???

Not gonna lie, Leds look crap and so does the plate. Sorry.

En titled to ur own opinion!! Even the Audi headlights??????

Audis struggle to pull them off never mind a punto. They are the chav lights of 2008 tbh.

Hi 5

Point taken ill give u that 1 !!! With that comment the removal of them mite be a gd idea lol!!!!!!

Hmm i don't know if i like them. Part of me does, as for the square plate it looks ace

square plate looks good... leds look crap

Ok mixed feelings i will take i picture at mite wen the LED's are at the fullest illumination and go well with just the sidelights and the square plate

Take a picture when you want its still gonna look crap and chavvy imo. They are too close together for one and there is no where on the front of a mk2 that lends itself to have them positioned well.

i used to have a square plate, i thought it looked okay.

now i just have a cut down normal size, looks sleeker, like matt's but legal colours coz im a good boy

I'm inclined to agree with you as it stands, but what about if they were grafted-in to the headlight clusters - that would be better? Or perhaps blacked-out as much as possible and put in the rubbing strips?

I know - what about edge-lighting the clear lens of the headlights, so that the lens itself appears to glow around its edges? By edge-lighting I mean having the LEDs mounted so that they shine into the edge of the polycarbonate - the LEDs themselves would be hidden somewhere behind the bumper so it would be truly subtle.

As for the square plate - yeah, can't fathom that one, sorry But each to their own and if it makes your Punto stand out from the others, surely that's a good thing.
