If you can reach underneath place a fibreglass patch under the hole. This will allow you to fill the hole without using a kilo of filler. Grind away the paint and place filler over the holes, sand off and scuff the whole area, spray a couple of coats of spray putty over the area you've filled, sand again, undercoat the complete area, and then apply colour. Or you could get a paint shop to do this.

If you just want to fill the holes without painting then you could find some rubber grommets to plug the holes. Apply a bit of Sikaflex under neath to waterproof and seal the holes.

I hope this helps you,

dont think you can get to those holes. Maybe if you take the whole boot off and try, but its still hard. Best you go get a panel shop to do it. 300-400$

it should not matter even if the holes are exposed on the dc4 because they right above the gutter thing where the water runs under the boot. i put a type r wing on my dc4 and it only left 1 hole which used to be where the brake light cables ran though, i used one of the rubber from my front bonnet (i dont know how to describe it but it's big and black, not beeing racist :P and it stoped the bonnet from hitting the car when it closed.) i wouldnt do this if your going wingless because your going to end up with 5 chodes on your teg.

i did the same as you and i bought rubber grommets from super cheap auto and plug them in and used glue tube(forgot the name of it but it was black) to glue the bottom to seal it completely. oh and if there is still marks from the spoiler around the holes, u can wax it and it will turn out a bit better with some paint coming back. hope this helps (Y)
