I think it depends on the depth of hole left by the badge, if its fair old gap then it may be worth trying to get a plate welded in then flush that over with as little filler as possible. If you end up with a big stopper of filler it could end up sinking or cracking. I dont think the make of filler is too crucial as long as you dont buy complete sh!t !

hum

it will be plastic so cant weld anything, even if it was metal i dont have a welder lol... what do you think a max depth for filler would be?
it would probably be less than 1cm!

You might be O.K then but to be honest I've never used filler on plastic so I'm unsure of the best way to get a realy good finish  :undecided:
