    It will leave holes. 3 under the Citroen badge and 2 under the Saxo one.

    You will need to take it to a bodyshop to weld behind the holes, then fill, flat and paint the tailgate.

    Should cost about £100-£200 for it doing properly but makes a big difference to the look of the car

    Go get a 106 boot and rear lights. they dont have holes plus will give your motor a more unique look

    And will need the loom and slam pannel to fit! Also need to relocate the number plate to the bumper. I looked at doing this with mine but couldn't be bothered in the end. Much easier just to delock it

    Spot on as usual

    You can either have them welded up and have the boot resprayed or alot of people carry on the Body colour and Black theme with using wet 'n'dry sand paper to take off the top coat of silver paint on the lettering to leave Black Badges

    instead of getting the boot de-badged i removed my badges and t-cut them. looks just as good i think, saved me a couple hundred quid too
