I have been thinking about debadging my mk2b... but realised that there will be a indent in the boot from where the badge was... I was wondering if anyone could tell me what they did to get rid of this and how they did it

Styling Help on debadging a mk2b!!!
if its a punto mk2b there will be no indent just maybe a bit of paint difference
no need for smoothing if its a mk2/b as there is no indent its only the front of a mk2 that has an indent

His should be the same as yours, as there isnt a badge on the back of the mk2, just the fiat logo and the punto lettering at the bottom.
I belive that mk2 and mk2b boots are different on the 3dr and 5 dr models????
3dr has a straight boot, and 5 dr has like a hump i think so badges might be different but on my mk2 3dr i had no indents or recesses, just warm up and slowly peel away with a credit car, then auto glym tar remover to reove all the excess glue left

It is a mk2b (mk3) so has a big circular fiat badge in the middle... and that is indented into the boot!!! it is a '54 reg mk2b!
its not i have exactly the same car and i have removed mine and have not got a recess or indent its just stuck on with a bit of glue

Mate he has a 3dr mk2b i think the 3 dr has a indent receess his best bet would be to go to scrappers get a mk2 boot lid then debadge that and fit it to your mk2b 3dr
mines a 3dr mk2b/mk3 and doesnt have a recess
Oh yeah i forgot you had a 3dr lol i can even see it in your sig and profile pic lol my bad
uh?
To my knowledge....
Mk2 has no indent on rear at all in terms of behind badges
Mk2b has indent behind the cental FIAT round logo

I have a mk2b/Mk3 5dr Active, and can confirm: my boot lid has a huge round Fiat badge with an indent. The front grille also has a round badge, but even if you remove it, the grill itself has a round plate (to support the badge) which doesn't come off. Only way, is to find a debadged 3rd party manufactured grille - which I'm having difficulty finding.
Thats what i thort that mk2 has none cos i done mine, but mk2b has an indent where the cicular fiat badge is because i remember someone on this forum bought a mk2 boot lid from scrappers and debadged that then fitted it too there mk2b.
The only confusing thing is that the member "FIATPUNTOMK2B" has a mk2b 3dr and he debadged his and no indent unless he has a mk2 boot lid which some previous owner has just stuck the circular badger onto therfore having no indent when you removed it.

you are right... mine is a 3dr mk2b and behind the big central Fiat round logo there is an indentation... i can see it with my own eyes... just wondering how i could get rid of it if i debadge it
Mate just go to scrappers get a mk2 boot lid debadge that then fit it to your mk2b direct replacement.
Or second option would be to go to a bodyshop and get then to fill and spray that indent, which maybe a bit costly compared to goin to the scrappers
