[QUOTE="bottom rung, post: 244367, member: 4179"] There was a little distortion, but to tell the truth I think I hurried the welding. I've seen some other panels that have had the badge bulge removed and there has been very little distortion. I am in two minds as to leave the bulge on and cover it with a spare wheel mount, although I know its a cop out and really I should get the bulge off, take my time plating the hole and stick a badge on the front instead. From my experience if you remove the bulge before the panel is fitted, you have the advantage of good rear panel access to paint the inside of it, but possibly then may get a problem with panel fit due to it mis-shaping. I have decided to fit my new panel first, and then fill the indicator holes and possibly sort out the badge area. The finish on the back of the panel might not be perfect, but at least I know it fits. [/QUOTE]
