   how easy is it to completely debadge this plastic morette grill? can you buy a fibreglass kit from halfords. ive never really done this before, was wondering if it was the case with much things with bodywork, that its best left to the pro's? if so how much should it cost?

   Wouldnt say you would need to fibre glass is, cut then off but leave a stub of it left. then just sand it down till it meets the grill, if it leaves a hole just fill it with P38 (normal body filler)

   it does leave holes though if i do cut it out. its quite flexible plastic, wouldnt filler crack over time?

   Pete sorry to butt in I wouldn't do that some parts yeh . Cut middle out then tape over top of holes and use a fiber glass mix just using filler may crack in time after fiber glassing you then can use filler cost would be between 10 to 20 pound
