If the scrapes are on the bottom I could see them take a short cut and just spray the bottom. What did they say they will do, sand prep and paint the bumper cover or just clean up the scrapes? At the dealer where my son works they take ecery short cut possible when getting used cars ready to sell.

Just got the car back from global imports bmw in atlanta. They had the car 5 days i asked them to do a lot of stuff apparently lol The bumper looks brand new, they must have sanded the whole thing, filled in the holes n repainted. No more ugly license plate or holes. I just order bumper plugs in sparkling graphite, because I too am removing the front license plate holder. I will let you know how it goes after I get them. I was in the same boat as you. But we have to have front plates up here, so i bought this adapter kit.
And now i can remove my plate easily with no trace it was there. Attached Images. Brigadier General. M Sport bumper time.

On the the oil cooler is over there. This should release the bracket from the car. If the bracket is attached by what appears to be a rivet see photo , then it will need to be drilled out.
Once you are all the way through, the rivets should be disconnected from each side, and you should be able to remove the bracket. Finally, with the bracket removed, you will want to clean the area, to get rid of any dirt and dust. A wet cloth or paper towel should work just fine. If need be, use some windows cleaner to get additional grime. Most likely the original holes are smaller, and we'll need to drill the bring the existing holes up to spec. If there is any plastic bits still hanging on, use a blade or knife to clean up the hole by rotating it inside the hole not too much to make it smooth.
Also, I recommend leaving the nylon plugs black, so you can skip steps In order to properly paint the nylon plugs, you will need to take a scrap piece of wood and drill holes through it to place your plugs. Clean off any splinters with the knife, if need be. Don't press them in all the way. You need easy access to the edges.
You will want to wipe off any excess paint on the edge of the paint tube, or the wood, so that you don't glob it on. Paint it quickly and don't go over your existing paint strokes, otherwise you will end up with streaks in the paint. Wait 24 hours, then apply another coat. This one can be A BIT more liberal, but not much. This is your topcoat, so make sure all the edges are covered and it is smooth. It will have screw holes from holding it on.
Is there any easy, quick fix for this? Ive never had a front license plate holder before. Are there any plugs or anything I can get in white to plug up the screw holes?
Im not really sure what to do, but its an eye sore being that I really dont need it to be there. Appreciate 0. Originally Posted by 1QuikWS6. My car came with the U.
