no it was very easy, go to halfords, buy some filler, p38 or summit, in a tube mine was. buy a little bit of mesh, bend the mesh to the shape of the hole, i super-glued mine in place, then fill it with filler(see pics below)

then sand it down till it's smooth, then prime with primer from halfords, then 2 cans of paint to finish, very easy.

Good tip is lots of thin layers, and take ya time, like spray a coat, leave for 10 mins, then another. best way other wise uve gotta start over again!

'e' marks are not required for legality i.e. to pass an MOT
