What do you reckon the best way to smooth the holes left behind from a GTE wrap around spoiler and a tailgate washer jet?

There doesnt seem to be any way to access the back of the hole to fibre glass the back so I can skim the front.

bash the holes down with a hammer then spot weld plates in and then smooth over, easy done in half an hour

2 major problems with that...


no spot welder................ no welding skills

then u really need to get someone else to plate it

u could try just filling the holes with filler but with nothing behind to hold it inplace i doubt it would last (ideally u'd want ally mesh or similar behind it)

why not spray some foam in there (be careful it expands real quick) then use filler to smooth it then spray it ?

yeah I think I might give that a go.

Its gonna be under a spoiler so it'll never get touched anyway.
