Easiest way it to weld small plates behind all the holes that are accessable, and then build up the weld on the other aide and grind it back smoooooth :)

Or get yourself the bootlid from a early MK2 with the 3S-FE engine, which had no spoiler. Pretty sure that's what Rob Shipp has.

If you have a Mk2 Rev1 or 2, you still have the holes in the wing tops to see to. Spray finishing then becomes a more major job, too.
Also, the aerial fit becomes a problem - Probably have to change it to a Rev3 + item.
