Hugh!?! A plastic black plate to cover holes? Either put the license on it or remove it and cover it with BumperPlugs.

IDIOTS drilled 4 before i bought the car !! Everything else was perfect!

So 4 plugs would look...bad.

It's a "band-aide" until I fix the bumper.

Stands out too much on a yellow car. Would look okay on a black one I guess. A nice OEM license plate frame with plates would probably look better.

Chill guy, no one is calling you an idiot!! I'm referring to the people who sold me the car.

You get a life, or even better an anger management treatment.

Looks better than the holes, temporarily of course.

actually had a similar thing happen when I bought my wife's 987. I purchased four bumper plugs from Eric and it's not that noticeable at all.

whoa whoa no fighting.....lol I understand you clearly Vladm, you were calling the person who sold you the car a idiot for doing it, not
deijmaster a idiot. Well anyway I would find out who is the best color matcher in town and have the bumper repainter, or who the dealers use. The black plate looks worst in my eyes, but thats my opinion. To have your bumper repaint and with the hole repainted it should run you anywhere from $500 to $1000 bucks. Good luck with everything.....

My vote would be for using bumper plugs - just my opinion.

Since I have bought a few new p-cars - I try to make sure they (dealers) do not drill anywhere!! I have even had one almost insist, since the front plate is required .. I said that is my problem, not theirs!!

The one I bought with the holes already drilled - Bumper Plus for Eric - Great solution!

I have the same issue but will bite the bullet at some point and just fill in and respray the bumper. For now, I just run a front plate, I don't like how 4 plugs look. (2, I could deal with)

Another option is to replace your front bumper to a GT3 bumper if you want a more aggressive look to your C2.
