   Back of car, any tips or advice on how to do it? Because i don't think there just like stickers i think there like clipped on? If so I don't want there to be holes left over?
   
   Thanks

   yeah they are both clipped on both the Citroen and the saxo badge, its quite alot of hassle to get rid of the holes propely dont think its worth it, you have to fill the holes with filler sand it down and respray, but sometimes when you respray you can notice where you have sprayed because it hasnt been blended, not worth it mate.

   Ok thanks, think I'l leave that then! Is there anything else i could do to make it look better, How do convert them to black? Is that just a spray job?

   It's just called TCUT
   
   comes in a red bottle, halfords will sell it, even ASDA do it
   
   just get a cloth and rub realllly hard onto the badges but try not to get any on the paint or it may discolour

    70 quid is alot to cover four holes and spray it, you may aswell of got the whole boot flushed, that is a job worth getting done! obviously be quite alot more though but worth it!!

    I thought 70 was quite cheap tbh, holes filled, sanded, primed and full boot repsray

    You could try Spraying the badges the same colour as your car, worked for me
