My TT's blinkers and undertray are having some serious issues!

This post has 2 parts. I have a 2002 Audi TT 1.8turbo equipped with Quattro. It has around 70k miles on it.

Here are my problems:

1. When I had my oil changed the last time at a location different than normal, the mechanic showed me where someone who had previously serviced the car, had cut a hole through the car's undertray to try and remove the oil filter without taking the undertray off. Also about 1/2 the bolts that secure the undertray were missing. I am having trouble with the undertray sliding itself out from underneath the bodywork on both the right and left-front corners and hanging from below the car so that they are not secured under the car as they should be because of these missing bolts. I have tried racer's tape and duct tape but both come undone and the undertray slide out from the bodywork under high speeds. Where can I get new bolts? And/or what else can I do to keep the undertray from coming off the bottom of the car.

2. I also have this problem with the blinkers on the car coming and going. It seems as though it were some sort of a short in the wiring. Sometimes the blinkers will work properly without a glitch. Other times they will not blink at all. Usually they will blink once or twice, then go out. Does anyone know what is causing this issue and/or how to fix it.

Thanks!
