u could fill it with bondo, sand lightly and use touch up paint to cover it that is prob the best and cheapest way to do it.

The german plates should be available at your dealer....

The bondo is going to look like *** if you've never done any sort of body work or paint. If your car is older, the original color will have faded so the touch up paint will not match, even if you get the correct color code.

The 3rd option is to take it to a body shop and have them fill the holes and respray the bumper.

Personally, I chose the euro plate. If I ever get tired of the plate I'll have the holes filled in at the body shop.

Don't know about the laws there, but if a front plate isn't required, rather than patch the holes, you could get a replacement for the piece that holds the plate (front chin spoiler). I think they run somewhere around 85 bux....

I don't beleive it'd be legal to use a euro plate in place of your front place if the plate is required by law since there is no state information on a euro plate.
