Front bumper license plate holder damage
Hello,
Recently bought a GLC 43–loving the car; slowly modding and having fun.
However, the car was previously a TX car (I’m in AZ), and the front bumper has incurred damage from screws being driven directly into it for mounting a license plate holder. In Arizona, we don’t require any front plate, which I like because we can enjoy a vehicle as it’s meant to be.
So, any creative ideas about what I can do about the damage? I don’t want a frame for a plate I don’t have. I don’t want to look at the holes either. Replacing ghe bumper seems too much as well.
Thoughts?

Man, I wish I didn't live in a state that requires a front plate! It's a shame that people drill holes in their bumper though. For my 43 I got a plate holder that screws into the tow hitch so I didn't have to damage my car for a stupid front plate law. Personally I would try the plugs first, and go with the more expensive body shop fix later. Chances are, you won't notice the plugs after a few days.
