   yeah the badges are fixed into the boot with little prong thingys going into the holes.
   
   so when you de-badge it you have to fill the holes and smooth over them.
   
   bodyshop will do it for no more than £100.

   if your confident with things like that then by all means give it ago but if not take it to a bodyshop. get some quotes as it could be cheaper than £100.

   i debaged my old saxo, i put a strip fibre glass behind the hole in the bootthen wen they had dried put filler on the outside of the boot to fill the hole and wiped it down after so none was around, then wen that was dry i had a paint pen and matched it up, never took pics from close up u cud c it, but just looking u cudnt, and no one could see it unles they knew it had been done

    the above two points are by far the easiest.
    
    usually, the holes would have to be filled in by smoothing and then re-spraying the whole boot. that is why it would be best to flush the boot at the same time (if that is the look you were going for).
