   if you can afford about £100, get it debadged and resprayed
   
   alot of people cant be asked and just rub t cut on the badges until they go black

    Personally think that debadge would look better, however it is ofcourse harder to do.
    
    Not done it myself but think it involves,
    
    Removing the badges
    Welding a small metal plate to the inside
    Filling/Fibreglassing over the holes,
    and then Respraying.

    T-Cut FTW! 10 minute job as said above. pour some t-cut onto a rag and rub on the silver part of the badges... will very slowly but surely turn black as it will smooth the paint of like a really fine sandpaper show us pics when done!
