For mine I filled the holes with P38 sanded back and then wrapped it with gloss black wrap.
 
There is possibly a thread on here somewhere, try doing a search ^^

You can buy a brand new USA Spec one without any holes in it. You can get these from places such as AwesomeGTI, Merseyspeed or Parts4euro ect.

Mine...
