I wouldnt fill it entirely with filler as it will crack over time

Best bet as mentioned is weld a small plate into it then a small skim of filler over the top

Cut a square plate slightly larger than the circle than your trying to fill, place the new plate over the circle, firmly hold it in place while you scribe round the edge, cut out up to that line, flush fit your new plate in place, tack into position, then seam weld, grind off the weld, and finish with filler

If you use filler then what can happen is that it will fall out, much better to weld a plate over the top.

I prefer them with the badge to be honest.

Mine was welded over the top, then filled. So was my aerial hole in the front wing. :cool:
