Styling Help on debadging a mk2b!!!

[OPotts]

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.

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

mk2 boots dont have the reflectors on them though and i was planning on tinting my rear lights and doing all of them because i dont have to leave the reflectors on the lights clear because there are reflectors on the boot... so if i replace the boot with a mk2 boot then i cant do this... how much will it cost to fill the indent myself??? and what can i use??? and how much will a boot be???

I dunno the prices mate but i got quoted £150 - £200 to fill the indent and respray on my bonnet badge, and the boot is of simular size innit...(BTW i didnt bother with the bonnet tooo much money lol)

I have lexus lights and on the mk2 lexus lights dont come with reflectors so i just dont have any reflectors...i have never been pulled by cops and on my MOT i just stuck 2 reflectors on the bumper with blutak hen as soon as i passed took them back off.

So if you want just tint all the light including the reflector, i dought cops will notice and for mot stick soome cheap reflectors on. (BTW just about everyone will have a problem with what i have just posted but its the cheapest way to maek your car look good, it looks gay with just the reflectors un tinted lol)

If you want a pre-made debadged grille, have a look at:
www.icc-tuning.com
www.fk-automotive.de
www.lester.it
They have a range of debadged grilles.

You might want to consider that by removing the front grille, and replacing it with a mesh, you're going to run into a completely different problem.
The bodywork under the front grille is pretty crap and full of dents / holes. Painting it is a solution, but a marginal one at best. Have a look at these photo's...(yellow Punto): http://www.fiat-scotland.com/fiat/u...-Punto-Mk2B-Car-Grills-(and-the-point-of-them).

You might be better off either getting a grille similar to the original but debadged or getting a custom made one with very fine mesh (I haven't found a commercial one like this as yet).

I eventually decided to debadge the back and tried to do it myself... EPIC FAIL... https://www.fiatforum.com/bodyshop/232624-warning-mk2b-owners-debadge-boot-fail.html

Hmm, don't know what happened to the first site, The URL has actually changed to http://www.icctuning.com/idiomas/uk/index_menu_uk.html
I just tested it and it works.

With regards to fk-automotive, I bought plain grille from them. Everything included, the grille cost me €29.99. I paid by PayPal, so no worries...
