   Well, I have a 2000 Saxo First, want to t-cut Citroen badge and replace it to the middle of the boot, remove the Saxo badge and paint red, then apply to glovebox.
   
   When i remove them from the back, are they pinned down or only kept on by adhesive?

   The only way to get rid of a hole is to fill it in with filler! You may have to respray though which unless the whole boot is done will look a mess. Touch up paint may work. Is it worth it?

   If you filler the holes I'd get somthing welded behind the hole to keep the filler in, but the body shop should do that mate

    If you cant afford to do it properly i wouldnt personally bother doing it - sticking tape behind it is going to be crap tbh..
