Thanks, i googled it. A lot of those look like the interior plastic plugs/clips that you would find inside the trunk keeping the trunk lining in place. Those are available at the auto parts or hardware stores. Ill start there,,Thanks

True, they will be visible but it wont look much different than the look that you see on some of these cars that have those round circles in the rear bumper which i think is for parktronic. It will be much better than having that big plate holder up front

Yes, and had you optioned for the Distronic you would be sporting those proximity sensors in the bumper, that are exactly as you described. I think the plugs are fine for these cars. It's not a $300K Lamborghini.

yea i know, that was really a tough call. I just really didnt know which way to go. The lighting package is amazing. I guess it worked out ok cause this car i got is truly impeccable. I have other cars and im pretty particular when it comes to condition. Heres my other. The new benz Its a very clean car

I got 1/8" white plugs from Lowe's and touch-up paint from the dealer. Painted the plugs and drilled the holes for the plugs. I actually had four of them to fill. Looks very fine, like round end rivets.

Suppose Porsche shops have plugs with color choices as those guys use them a lot.
Coming to sport cars, driving on autbahns in VW I was always dreaming about Porsche. Than in California, I bought one only to find it senseless at this location. Low speed limits and bumpy roads taken by sport suspension made my teeth grinding.
