If the t/gate badge recess was filled would the filler fall out? Anyone done it?

  1. I have got one of the new tailgates with the badge recess. If I was to fibreglass fill the badge hole, then a skim of filla would it all fall out? Has anyone tried it. I thought about welding the hole smaller but didn't want to buckle a new boot :eek:

    i don't know what they are like - if it is a large recess can you not use panel bond to hold a piece of steel in place and filler over that ?

  4. Do you not fancy a big Brazilian badge on the back?
     
  5. Cheers for the replies. Didn't fancy the badge. I was trying to keep the outside original (ish) but get with the times inside. If I see a bay driving down the road and I see the badge on the back I sort of don't give it a second glance.

  7. Make sure you bare metal the recess... Like Zed has said... failure to do that will cause it to crack out!! :thumbsup:
     
  8. If you bare metal, you might want to apply some etch primer before you fibre glass ;)
