It should be ok you already have holes in it.
Did know you could get 4x8's only heard of 6x9's.

i was told by an mot testing friend that your car can actually fail an mot if you remove to much metal from rear shelf , even 6x9s are pushing it.

i suggest you read the link in the post above and question your friend quite closely regarding the quality of his/her information.

that area of the car is not examined for normal mot purposes
