Its hard to say from the photo but a few things to consider.
Is it the boot lid that needs adjusting or the surrounding areas that it sits in.
Does it sit better with the rubbers removed. Bear in mind that they will compress a little one time.
Can the lip be trimmed to allow the boot corner to be lowered.

With my bonnet, I put some slices into the strengtheners underneath, curved the bonnet and glassed it back up. You could do the same, screw the boot lid to the car to get it flat and then glass it up from underneath. Screw holes are easily filled afterwards.

With the ariel, I bought a sharks fin ariel from Ebay for about £10, it has some kind of circuit board inside and a lead with an eyelet on the end. The eyelet screws to the old ariel base and the sharks fin sits under the fibreglass shell with double sided tape. It actually has better reception than the original ariel, this was on the Z3, the fitting may be different on he MX5.
