   i keep reading the threads on debadging, where if u fill the hole eventually it will crack and sink, would it be better to weld a plate on like u would when smoothing the numberplate recess?

   when you debadge it, it's best to get the holes filled with tin.

   I did it myself, removed the badges, removed the boot trim fibreglassed from behind the holes the once that had dried i used a tiny bit of filler and the job was a good-un
