Open your boot take off the panel on the inside, prety sure its torques screws, and you will see the nuts holding the boot lock cover on simply take them off

Ben, to fill the holes, you, errr, use filler.
They are such small holes that the filler will take hold in them no problem, just try to fill the hole right the way through to make sure the filler can't fall out.
Oh, and leave the interior panel open and make sure you have the keys, as it can be a right bitch if the boot shuts, as the lock falls back inside the boot itself.

tints were done at a place in wickford with a good rep for 25 quid a window
