    to get it done properly(welded up, fillered..) your looking around £150-£200

    will be hard to get a decent colour match with cans, although black might not be tooo bad

    You'll never be able to do a proper job by using some filler and a spray can. In the majority of cases, people have had their complete boot lid re-done to blend in because trying to concentrate and blend one/two areas is "very" difficult. And... the time/money you'd spend getting somebody to do that, it'd be better to have the complete lid re-done.

    Or... you go for the cheaper option and colour code your badges. That way... you only need to spend money on doing the badges and you wont have to worry about the holes left. So you have it subtle, effective and also cheap

    it will look terrible if you use the can. welded and get someone to spray it.

    sounds like you should pop those badges back on if your not gettng the boot resprayed i know when i was new to saxos i was just gonna fill the holes wipe the excess off with a cloth and use a touch up pen, i was advised not to... lol in the end i just bought a second hand boot which has already been welded then got that one sprayed but yea its expensive for the sake of removing 5 stupid little holes

    i know that you can weld it from the inside, then put a bit of maskin tape on the outside over the hole, then filler it, then touch it up with a bit of paint, then peel the tape off and a couple coats of t-cut and you can hardly notice.

    but honestly ur better getting a boot flush off ebay for lyk 40 quid bonding it on then getting a full respray, looks best
