Default license plate

so today i was determined to get the license plate thing off the front of my car, i eventually did after i took out tin snips, a dremel and a sludge hammer, i had no idea there was going to be like 3 dime sized holes under that, so i just screwed my plate onto the old holes that were there for the plate, now my question is, is there any filler i can use to fill the holes or is it cheaper to get a euro plate?, i want to move my plate to the lower corner of my car but dont want to have 3 huge holes in my bumper.

if you have nothing better to do and it annoys you as it would me, you can bondo and sand and primer and sand and paint and sand and paint and sand and clearcoat and sand and do some rubbing compound, polishing compound then wax it.

Where exactly do you plan on moving your plate... Since you have fogs I don't really see how you're going to move it to a good looking spot in the lower corner. Using a euro plate and your normal plate will make the bumper look too cluttered. Personally, I think that you should just keep it in the middle where it was, but take off that chrome looking frame. And also take ro_jas out of your Audi wishlist.
But to (kinda) answer your question, ask jeeves.

Ro_jas just aren't too Audi-ish.
And you do not have a body kitted B6 so it won't really look the same but if it's what you want, I'm sure there are plenty of guides outside of audiforums.

Lol well I meant a guide to fill the holes left behind because many people will have that problem. Euro plates are easy to find. People on ebay sell actual german plates and custom ones

Maybe it was someone else but I thought you started a different thread about that before. About if it would be a good idea putting your required front plate in the window and a euro plate on the bumper. Euro plates are not even legal in the first place but you should be able to get by with them on in some states, but it might be pretty hard to when you are required to have a New York plate up front.
