is it easy to get to or will it take me quite a while to get at?
there is the big plastic structure around it, that goes around the whole boot.

No its not difficult at all its held on by the screws that the parcel shelf string attaches to then there are 2 poppers about a third of the way in on each side. Just off the top of my head there may be another couple of screws but that will be apparent if you have a look around it. Then you need too flex it a bit from the bottom either side to get it out. I dont think that you have to take off the grey bit to get it off sorry i have only done it once in the summer. If you do need to take off the grey bit it is another 4ish screws and more poppers.
When you take the surround off the poppers be carefull as one of mine snapped but that was only because i didnt know where they were.
Most of the screws will be star and pozi type.
The actual break light is held on by another 2 screws star type then it is easy to disconnect similar to speakers.

im not going to do it now.
i was looking at a sticker that said stilo that you applied to the inside of the window on ebay - but its gone now.
i have another idea instead. ive taken the stilo badge of and im going to paint it the italian flag colours and stick it back on

I wouldny bother with the stickers the break light is too small especially if you have a spoiler you just wouldnt really see it and there cheap nasty mods IMO. Good job on the Stilo Lettering though what did you use to paint them did you use spray and sorry im going to have to steal that idea and paint mine blue to see what it looks like as the graphics on my car will be blue.

just got some special tough gloss stuff that we use at work
we use it on the moving parts that you get on the aerial runways, ridgerider, roundabouts etc
(we sell playground equipment).
just a small touch up tin, and a brush

Fair enough i take it that stuff is a kind of enamel so it dries the creases ut to give a nice finnish on it them. Now thats called waiting for paint to dry.

yeah. i dont really know what it is. i just got told it was good quality
i left it overnight to dry before sticking it back on, i used multi-purpose outdoor double sided sticky tape.

Well a good quality enamel will be very glossy and leave next to no brush marks but it lays on quite thick and takes a long time to dry. There u go u learn something new everyday.
