:lol: ye it was really mate, when you shut the boot it rattles and vibrates so the filler will crack any filler on the boot is always going to be an issue really so you try to reduce it as much as possible.

If you can see if you can get it welded up and a light skim of filler :D

i'm no expert... but... i doubt little bits of filler that big are at any risk of cracking... with big bits like debadging the rear and filling the recess then fair enough, it's something to watch out for... but little holes i doubt will crack... they have a tiny surface area so vibrations will dissapate over them very quickly.

thanks, i used to work a van livery company and took a few 'free' samples. then just took a photo of my polo badge and changed it into black text on photoshop, printed it out, stuck it on the vinyl then cut it out, job done.

theres a guy on here thats got a vinyl cutter and quoted me about £4 i thnk, then i found these lying about in my house and did

it myself. oorrr you can buy like a whole huge roll on ebay for about £5 if you fancy doing it yourself
