Default Plug for spoiler holes?

hey guys just seeing if anyone has got any advice, i want to take my standard wing off my gc8 (only because it looks horrendous and scratched up from previous owner). i need to find a plug to fill the holes in for the mean time till i can get it resprayed and filled...(1 1/2 months from now), any suggestions answers will be great.i have searched but cant find anything, even super cheap dont sell rubber plugs or flat top plugs that will work

thanks adam

Clark Rubber have a range of plugs in grey/black that will suit, I pieced together two "sets" of 5 assorted plugs to fill the holes when I had my wing off for a short while a couple of years ago.

Be sure to buy a third brake light for your rear parcel shelf or you may run the risk of getting yellowed.

I had this problem as well after my spoiler got nicked. Searched around all of the car shops and ended up finding some blanking grommets from Repco in Osborne Park.
Only problem on the gc8 is the hole that the wiring goes in to isnt circular like the other ones. To combat this I cut two smaller grommets in half and glued them together... a bit agricultural but worked a treat lol stopped the water getting into my boot

That's a pretty handy idea actually. Especially as you said you will be respraying soon anyway, no point messing around too much looking for the perfect grommet lol
