   16v badges leave no holes, the citroen badge has 3 holes behind it and the saxo badge has two holes.

   Take it to a bodyshop and get them to fill it and respray it. About £150

   before i got my vts i had a vtr and got a quote of £100 to have the wholes filled and respray the whole boot. so anywhere from £100-£150.

    needs a good polish if you remove the 16v badges as the paint will be a different shade

    £100-£150 is a rip off to cover a couple of holes.
