If you are changing it because of a knocking noise on going on and off the accelerator the "dog bone" one that ties the bottom of the gearbox/engine to the subframe is the usual issue. Probably looking like this. The other two big mounts hang the engine and gearbox off them, so if the "dog bone " one fails the engine and gearbox can swing forward and back, giving a knock.
Ohh thanks alot !! Yes I have an issue whenever I change gears, you can hear a knock and whenever I let go of the clutch to the biting point to move forward you can a knock.If you are changing it because of a knocking noise on going on and off the accelerator the "dog bone" one that ties the bottom of the gearbox/engine to the subframe is the usual issue.

You can do a search on eBay for them , but personally I would change the one I mentioned first as that is the most common as it's job is to stop the engine "kicking" forward and backwards.
The other two will require supporting the engine as you fit them as they take the weight of the engine, the one I said about, once you undo the bolts you can just push the bottom of the engine out the way with your hand as you fit the mounting.
If you look on the forums ePER link
You will see the detail of how the 199model punto is built
When I bought my 1st 1248 mj in a 199grande the bolt could not be removed from the car... ( it is fitted when the car body is far away from the engine and gearbox....with no exhaust pipes)
Okay will do thanks a lot !!
WOW didn't know that site it's really usefull thanks a lot !!
