   I'm gonna be de-badging the boot in the very near future. From wot i can see the badges are just held on by some kind of adhesive pad.
   
   is this right or are there some holes that will need filling afterwards ??

   once again , depends on what bodyshop you go to, can vary from £20 for a shite job , to poss £100 just to remove smooth and spray holes for a good job.

    no, its not an overly big job , just need to be able to weld properly and then get the colour matched up properly when spraying
