How do I fill holes in the boot lid?
I have decided to go spoilerless and have removed the rear spoiler. Once removed the boot lid has 12 holes in it, It would appear that it has had a few spoilers fitted in the past.
Is there a good way to fill the holes ready for spraying? Is this something the spray shop do or should I do it myself fist?
Thanks in advance
Tim.

Second that, either weld or get a new lid DO NOT fill them.
A second hand sport boot-lid in the right colour is often cheaper than filling and respraying.

Third that, get them welded or a new bootlid from a breakers.
I DID fill mine, they were OK for about 6 months
Welded now, no probs two years later.

Couple options I guess.
First is get hold of another bootlid. I remember doing Martyn (Martyrobertsdj on here) a favour one day. Grade-A Subaru had a bootlid in for something daft like £47 in black primer without holes. Dunno if they have any more, but an option to give them a call.
Also, if you're undecided if its a permanent change, try some rubber grommets (Halfords etc) to fill the holes. Another mate Matt (ilogikal1) has done this on his classic, looks fine and no leaks.
