   well you can find out by looking inside the boot lid if theres locating pegs for he badges there then it will leave holes

   Just stick some tape over the holes from inside the boot for a temporary fix mate, until you get it sorted.

   All saxo boots had holes in for the badges. Doesn't look too bad with the holes not filled in on darker cars but I reckon you'll be able to notice on yours with it being a lighter coloured car

   Ok alot of people take the badges off to fid holes and either simply put em straight back on or spray them to match the bodywork. Over here its the 'in' thing to do to rub off the silver paint and just have Black 'Citroen' and 'saxo'.
   
   Some people also fill the holes and stick new badges on like I did
   
   
   
   Mine are 'Citroen' off a Picasso, 'Sport' off a Cilo and 'VTS' off the current C2 VTS
   
   Not to everyones tastes but then it was only a temparyu measure that seems to have stay'd.
   
   Works out cheaper than welding the holes and sparying the complete hatch.
   
   All depends on how much you want to spens, how different you want the car to look and at the end of the day its simply personal tastes :-)

    ^^^Agree. The holes are quite noticeable. How about painting the badges black and back on again
    
    *edit* If you're having the work done leave the badges off. It's only a temporary measure I suppose!
