Default License Plate Drill Holes - plugging/masking?

Pardon me if this has been covered. I'd like to fill in/touch up over the 6 (really ugly) drill holes in my front bumper.

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/47135/holes.jpg">

Is there a tried and true way of filling these in? Perhaps some plugs I can purchase? I toyed with the idea of filling them with bondo, but the consistancy of the material is too pasty to fill in.

Thanks!

Hmm, looks like they have other ones for non-porsche vehicles. Might require some drilling however.

Default Is that on the panel of the bumper? I purchased the piece...

that fits in the bumper and had it repainted and replaced. After all is said and done, it won't cost more than a few hundred dollars.

Default Huh, what?

You paid $150 to have a bumper plug painted!?

Glad I have an airbrush, it should have costed you no more then $15-$20 to paint, plus the price for paint, unless Audi only sells paint in $150 quantities.
