Thats sounding like the way to go, but is there any way to repair the creases in the sides?

I think you're stressing about nothing ;) That's really not too bad.

Hit it with some cut + polish, those grass-stain looking streaks will probably just buff out. Smooth it off with some sandpaper, probably start around 200grit and work back to 1200grit. Touch her up with some paint, it'll look good as new :)

hmmmm it would seem i just love my car too much haha.

For that peice in the lower corner that ive shown, could it just be super glued back in? doesnt appear to be anything un fixable.

Superglue might be to brittle, I'd try something like Araldite. You could even reinforce with fibreglass from the back if you really wanted.

Buy a another boot lid already in the factory colour, a lot better off than fil;ling holes etc.. you could even do a trade with some one if you dont want to keep your boot with spoiler plus cash your way..

Ring some wreckers and see if you can find a white one in good condition...
