I decided to take off the front plate to better show the aggressive face of my beast.

However, the dealer installed this frame which holds the car’s plates. And once I took it off, it appeared that the bumper has 4 ugly holes from the screws used to mount the frame.

Any ideas on what can be used to fill in these holes and make it unnoticeable? My cayenne is basalt black, which I think will make the job easier.

Thanks a million

TestnDoc,

Thank you soo much for the great web-site. I saw their products and I was amazed. However, in order to install these plugs I would need to drill even a bigger hole in the bumper so they would fit. It's a little tough to add an insult to an injury and drill a 1/4" hole in the bumper in order to cover up the old smaller holes.

However, thanks a million for the great web-site

I used wood screw caps (similar to those found with flat pack furniture!) painted silver to match. They're obviously not unnoticeable but for the meantime look better that holes! Only solution is to have bumper filled and painted by bodyshop.

There are black plastic screws in auto stores that fit in those bumper holes for 1-2$ that you can use and touchup paint to match.

I tried a lot of these things to fill these myself non look very good. In the end I gave up and put a decent plate on it to cover them up.





My Solution

Guys thanks for your inputs.

I guess my solution would be to go and strangle that idiot salesman who mounted these front plates and drilled the holes without asking me first.

It might sound ridiculous, but hay I didn't buy a Kia, I bought a freakin Porsche!!

I guess I should count from 1 to 10 to relax !!

I always tell the dealer NOT to drill any holes in the bumper even though our state requires a front plate. I just plan on getting stopped once a year or so and pay the ticket. Once the BMW dealer drilled holes in my now departed E46 M3 after I specifically mentioned SEVERAL times before deliever not to. They ended up putting a whole new front bumper cap from another car to placate me... I think they did learn though...
