Garage List
Bumper holes

Soo, I took off the license plate holder because I was going to do the tow hook plate holder and saw the previous owners made 6 frickin holes for the front plates... is there anything that can be done to fill/touch up paint it or should I just get another plate to cover it and cry in a corner

You could take it to a body shop and have the holes filled and the bumper resprayed. Not really a bad idea on a 2008, because you probably have a lot of rock chips and damage and such that respraying would eliminate. Then your front bumper would look nice and new.

You could use bumper plugs, but that's a lot of holes to plug and I don't think it would look very nice.

You could always get a new bumper.

Same thing happened to me. I just ordered a custom euro plate to cover them up. $55 and adds some more flavor to the front

Not a bad idea at all. The custom euro plate is a good looking, different, and reasonably priced alternative to plugging, repairing, or replacing a front bumper damaged by license plate holes. Add a little European flair to your little European car.
