hit the adhesive with a heat gun and sum dental floss.clean off any excess with turps.best way to fill holes is welding but this is expensive and requires panel and paint.you can pop sum christmass trees into the holes or bog them.just dont leave them they will rust.

Hey dude if u wana o a proper job without welding, would be to bog it, but before you do it, bang the edges of the hole all around the hole, so it has a slight slope, this will give the bog a better and stronger platform to sit on, you could put something in the hole aswell. I would say don't use the soft bog, use a metal tech fibre bog it will work better and you wont get cracks. I have done it to mine and its sweet. like the spoiler wasn't even there.
