When you see one with the emblems removed, it was modified. The Yaris and Toyota emblems can be easily removed with a little heat or by using dental floss to cut the adhesive behind them. The Toyota logo can also be removed, but from what I have heard, some MK1s do not have holes behind the logo and some have two small alignment holes.
The rear wiper as well can be removed, but a ~25mm hole is left behind that has to either be plugged or patched.

That gets a little more complex. You have to add a solenoid to pull or push the lever that used to be flipped by the hatch handle. That solenoid is then driven by a key fob remote and an output of a keyless entry system.

I see, what about the latch that opens the boot from the outside can that be removed?

Yes. That is the purpose of the solenoid - To eliminate the need for the outside latch.
