I cant put myself up to putting these cheap little plugs on the front of my killer looking BMW! However the 2 holes in the bumper from ED look horrible. A local shope quoted me like $300 to fill and repaint the bumper, sounds like overkill.
Can I just fill them and use some touch up paint myself? I understand it wont be "perfect" but as long as it looks good from a couple feet away its better than my current options. If anybody can help me with:
1. What can I use to fill the holes with?
2. Where can I pick up some titan. silver touch up paint? I'm assuming the dealer would have some?
I thought to post this since many others will have to think about this as well.

I was going to suggest this web site, but you said your dealer already gave you plugs.
http://www.bumperplugs.com/
I ordered plugs from this guy for my Porsche and the BMW and were a perfect color match to my bumper. He does quality work and well known in the Porsche community. You can try contacting him and he might have a few ideas for you about the front bumper holes.
BTW I have no affilliation with him or his company, just a satisfied customer.

I've never tried it but it sounds good if your carfull in doing it. Good luck
cheers
