Going to fill in the holes from the dealer installed license plate frame on my 05 CDI. Has anyone done this? What product did you use? How was it repainted?

 

i had my bumper done last week. It was done by the dealership though so i wont be able to answer your question. No one can tell the difference but I can tell, it doesn't feel the same. Good luck

 

The Bodyshop can do a great job. The paint must be mixed with "flex" so that it can flex with the bumper cover and not crack.

Thanks guys. Will have a photo report in a while. Connecticut requires a front license plate, but I am going without it until I get caught.

 

Thanks to forum member, Arnee, I odered a set of front bumper plugs, in my color, desert silver. $24.95 plus shipping. It is a much better solution than trying to do it myself. The dealer drilled through the clear bra, so I can't really do a bondo type deal, get it flush and then paint it, with the 3m type film over the bumper. When you consider having to buy a minimum quart of paint, the waiting time, plus the small spray apparatus, and the thinner, this is cheaper and quicker and probably will look a lot better. Thanks again. Jimbo
