Not sure if there is a guide on it mate. Have a quick search

DONT just use filler. It will sink and crack and look gash.

Weld a plate in there its alot more solid :y:

username winny has some good pics in his thread on how he done his.
but as above have it done professionally don;t bodge it. ebay usually have smmoth boots for sale that would prob be quite cheap and just need spraying. but don;t buy the boot flush as again will be wank

eather weld plates or epoxy reson coins over badge holes,
then make a stencill out of cardboard of licence plate resess then make that out of sheet metal a tiny bit smaller than the recess,
weld it in and fill it

no offence mate but what were you really expecting?

It was always going to involve measurments, welding, painting etc.
