You may not have to fill any holes at all on the bonnet, on most novas the badge is just stuck on.

Use a heat gun to remove it.

As for the wiper, why not just replace it with a nicer looking one from something like a ford KA or a Yaris.

Or, you know the stick on wheel center badges you can get from places like halfords? Get some carbon fiber ones, and just stick one over the hole left. Doesn't stand out that much, and cheap as chips.

Tho obviosuly not as good as proper flushing.
