Default plate holes gt3

Hi there,
from the factory coming that guys bored holes in the front for the license plate.
Does any of you have a good recommendation to me how to best closed them without either 1) buying a new front 2) re-paining the full front ?
my gt3 is chalk

thx

Not an answer to your question but my impression was that it's the dealer that drills license plate holder holes - if you don't tell them otherwise. I believe the cars leave the factory un-drilled

Yes, $28, but luckily includes the paint. What color? Seems they have almost everything!

I used 3M duck tape on top of PPF..... Our front plates are too small, they are made specific forports cars, a bit bigger than motorcycle plates.

I'd move to a different state before putting a plate on the front of my car.

Yes. My preferences are as follow.

Free/clean bumpr > bumper with Tow hook plate > bumper with center plate > bumper with two dimples > bumper with two holes. But I would probably fill in and re-paint the bumper.
