 Plugging License Plate Holes?



Anyonme with a Roadster or Coupe found a good way to plug the license plate holes? I have my car in getting some roch chips fixed and figuered that it would be a simple hole to fill. As it turns out, BMW put a nutsert(threaded insert) into the plastic and doesn't seem to offer a factory plug.

I look forward to any suggestions to make it look pretty short of removing the factory nutserts.

The bumperplugs won't work on our cars as the nutsert is mounted to a recesses in the bumper cover itself. You would have to drill it out to a 7mm hole to make it work.

The body shop just called and wanted a decision so I am having them fill the factory holes...hope noone ever needs to put a plate on the front of the car!

Initially drilled the holes and added painted plugs. The nutserts are removable if you remove the bumper cover.
When I deleted the bumper lights, I had the plate holes done too. Also changed the tow hook square cap hole to a round plug.

And here I thought that I was obsessed! Thanks for giving me something else to pain over Ron! Hmmm, to delete the lights or not delete the lights?!

Can anyone out there toss a coin for me?

I posted this since now is the time to do this if you ever wanted to. You have to decide what you want to do.
