While there is currently no Filling option for PolarPlot,
it sure seems like something they might add in the not
so distant future. So, I wouldn't go to too much trouble.
This might work for the time being.
r[phi_] := (Cos[7 phi/4]^8 + Sin[7 phi/4]^4)^(-1/2);
pic = PolarPlot[r[phi], {phi, 0, 2 Pi}];
pic /. {h_Hue, Line[pp_]} -> {{h, Polygon[pp]},
{Thick, Line[pp]}}
