i reckon im gonna remove the rear vauxhall badge but as it leaves a hole how do i go about getting it looking like the hole was never there. ive found the tutorial on it but the last picture of the painted over hold you can still tell it was there. is there anyway of getting it completely unoticable?

how i smoothed my boot

glue a peice of plastic in the boot
P38 easy sand body filler
instead of using the touch up pen like in the guide which doesn't leave it smooth
i masked up around the holes leaving about 0.5mm around the filler and sprayed the boot
leave for 24 hours
t-cut to smooth
polish
done

you could put "corsa" over the hiles like i did at first

but looks so much better with no badges, you can;t see where my holes was

ok brilliant thank you :)
what glue should i use to glue in the plastic? and i only need a small piece yeh, not a whole dvd box :p?
will i need to snad it down after the filler has dried?
and do i primer? then paint then laquer?

i used tigerseal to glue mine in place, but you can use any glue aslong as it will set rock soild.

you only need to cut a strip longer enough to cover both holes

yeah you will need to light sand to smooth to the boot shape,

primer
colur

you can lacquer it, but i found when i did it the new lacquer showed up to much compard to the old lacquer
