Plugs for front bumber license plate holes?

I’m a NC resident and just purchased a silver ’99 1.8T in VA. Now that I’m back home I want to remove the front license plate (not required in NC) but don’t want the holes that removing the plate is going to leave. Does anyone have any suggestions?BTW, the car (which took 3 months to come in) is GREAT!

My previous and current Hondas came with the holes in the bumper brom the factory. The holes were/are fitted with oval plugs which are painted to match the bumper. If your dealer didn't drill your bumper holes too big, the Honda plugs might do the trick. Check your local Honda dealer or try one of the dealerships who sell OEM parts on line.Good Luck!Robert Jordan

dealer put the tag bracket on my my car after I told them not to and I made them chnage the bumper with the next silver car they got at their expense.

Don't eat before you remove the plate!

The holes are probably off center and gigantic!Another totally rediculous Audi engineering practice. There should have been color matching plugs at the least. Better, an L shaped bracket that comes from under the bumper lip as on a Subaru Legacy, use it and it will look good, remove it and no holes!

Re: Plugs for front bumber license plate holes?

You have 3 rather large holes in your bumper as a result of mounting the license plate bracket. The 2 lower ones are centered but the upper one is off center to the driver's side. Looks like hell.....poor design. Black plastic panel plugs are available, in various sizes, at electronics shops (Radio Shack) and some hardware stores. These can be painted and used to plug the holes. Not the perfect solution but short of getting a new bumper, about all there is. BTW, a body shop will charge about 300 bucks to fill these holes.
