there's a garage on my road that do it using lead to fill the bit were the number plate is, think they quoted me around £130-£150 that didnt include painting though.
Using just lead will be expensive and weigh a ton, They most likely weld a panel in and use a skim of lead to get the final shaping (it's an old school alternative to bondo or filler). They will then kjust use a skim coat of filler for final prep for paint.

I didn't, and it's the new owner's problem now
It still has the original bulb holders, so shouldn't be an issue tbh
