Bumper holes fix?

Hey guys my car arrived and the dealership put the front plate on. I was so disappointed. Is there any quick fix or way to fill in the holes in a clean way? Black sapphire... Thx in advance

Had the same experience

got my private plate but wanted to put a sticky plate on the front side, after taking the old plate off there are 4 holes holding the bracket and 2 holding the plate

so plugging 6 holes would just be crazy so will have to stick to a standard plate for the time being

I told my CA about 40 times in the week my car was to arrive not to drill the bumper. I wasn't going to take delivery if they did. Haha.

Mine was a custom order just like some of yours. I was very polite but firm and said multiple times, don't mount the plate. I was very clear in telling him that I would not take possession of the car and would order a new car if that happened (not even fixing the bumper would be an option). They actually don't put the front plate on because we have to wait for plates and they don't put the bracket on unless you ask. Mine is unmolested.

They actually suggested I get a towhook plate holder, gave me the link for the product they like.

As for the holes. You have 2 options.
bumperplugs - inexpensive and look good
go to a body shop and have them plastic weld the holes and repaint the bumper.
