Weld up the recess with a bit of steel plate
that way your using a lot less filler so less likely to crack or fall out

same for badges weld the holes

yh mate weld or bolt on a plate i bolted mine on and just smoothed over it with some fibre glass at first so it it solid onto the plate, then onece your happy you have brought it out anough (so it blends in with the shape of the boot) just give it a good sand then wet and dry and get it primerd and sprayeed up mate im just about to finish mine and iv done all the work myself and tbh iv never done anything like it before and im happy with it, if you get the shape rite then you will be fine mate just use some decent easy sand filler and get a proper spreader not the shitty plastic ones and just go at it but be patiant, go from one side to the orther with the filler dont do bit by bit because i leaves little dents in the filler and you have to do it all again, so go from one side to the orther and repeat
