x5 front license plate holder removed

[coolrider]

So I removed the front license plate holder from my mineral white x5 and it left two holes in the bumper. I knew they waere going to be there. Any suggestions for filling the holes?

If you don't want to fill and paint, you can get paint matching plugs a bumperplugs.com. I've used them for three cars and the match was spot on. Kinda $$$ for what you get though but better than holes and cheaper than bodywork and paint.

I agree with Florida-X5 https://www.bumperplugs.com/ helped me get those hideous holes

Never knew these existed! Thank you for the link.

I checked out the bumperplug website and ordered the plugs to cover the holes in my bumper. Thanks a lot for the info!

Follow the instructions carefully, you don't want to crack the paint on the plug with too much manipulation. Don't be shocked by the size hole you need to drill, it's larger than what you would expect.

Definitely much larger. I bought a set several years ago but never got around to installing it due to front license plate laws.
