Bumper Screw Holes Fix?

Can someone recommend the best way I go about repairing the holes in my front bumper from my European license plate holder. I just moved back to the US and brought my car back with me. I'd hate to have to replace the whole bumper.

My other option is to drive around with my European front plate, however, I'm not sure how strict Texas police are on driving around without a front US license plate.







Thanks,

Steve

Leave the front Euro plate on, then center the Texas plate over top it. I was in the military, and trust me, you're not the first person to bring a car back from over there. Funny enough, there is a website where people can make fake Euro plates to do this exact same thing.

Contact your dealer or body shop. There are companies out there that can fill and texture the holes to the point where you have to look really close to see the fix.
