What are these two pieces for?
Salam,
can you advise what's the need for these two pieces in the back pumper?

Someone is whispering in my ears to remove them...

Thanks,

They are bumperettes, typically on USDM cars for our license plates.

They are typically due to US vs. rest-of-world highway regulatory requirements. Are you actually in Dubai or US?

I would assume they can be removed, but I can't recall anyone posting about taking them off after delivery.

c63 guy remove and body filled/worked and painted the bumper to remove them. There will be holes if you think you can just remove them without issue.

This reminded me of www.bumperplugs.com/ - heavily trafficked in the Porsche community as evident by the website. I DIY'd basically similar plugs on my Audi and Honda's, but definitely wasn't a perfect color match.
