Hey bro those come straight out but you'll need those removed and filled then painted by a body shop.

Also known as bumper warts. Just apply some compound W and should melt away.🙂

Get a good workshop to repair and fill the holes. Looks so much better.

You don’t actually need to remove them, depending on the country you are going to there might be a square license plate available.
And you need to do much more with the car if you are going to register it there. For example EU spec mirrors (easy mode), EU spec headlights and taillights (taillights being the hardest), if your car is pre-facelift most likely you’ll also need a different dash with km/h instead of mph/h.

my car is Canadian so it’s in km. I think the mirrors and lights well be fine because the only thing they are truly **** about is the rear fog light which the car has
