Does anybody know someone who can do a bit of paint on an Audi bootlid (roadster, so just a lid, not a tailgate).

Basically I've traced the leak in my boot to the spoiler mounting holes. When I took it off I couldn't believe how shoddy the work was. This was an official dealer recall spoiler (very early TT's didn't have them, but a few ended up in ditches), it looks worse than what Halfords would manage!


There's basically four 15mm (approx) holes that need filling (weld + fill), then the area around them (about a 100mm strip across the width of the bootlid) sanding down, a bit of filler + primer, and then spraying.

The rest of the bootlid is okay, and I'm not too fussed about having a concourse finish, so a smart repair would be more than acceptable. If it's easier, obviously can get the full bootlid resprayed. Car is silver.


Any ideas how much this would cost? This car is a &*£*$&ing money pit and I don't even like it, but it's got so much wrong with it it's basically unsaleable, so it's my roofless run-around until the kit car gets on the road.

If it's too expensive to de-spoiler, then I'll reattach it with a lot of sikaflex to seal the holes, but kind of want rid of it as it's not in the best condition.
