    yeah my boot has been welded and its perfect.

    a lot is down to the fitting of the panel tho. i've seen some puntos with them fitted dodgily and they look it.

    but you really cannot tell from that pic. its not clear enough.

    poss, but i wouldnt know as i have a metal plate...

    it could always be just the picture...

    also one thing bout the panel one hit the number plate recess area and it will just crack but with a metal plate you wont get any of that...

    i guess both have pro's and con's
