I bought my car used, and unfortunately, PO drilled holes in the front bumper to mount the plate brakes. For now, I'd just like to plug them with a body colored plastic plug, it's not perfect, but certainly would be less visible than the hole itself. Want to get something close to body color, because I'm going to get the front PPF'd, and even though its not perfect, Ill have the PPF over the plugs. I don't understand why anyone would spend this kind of money on a car and not find a plate bracket that doesn't require drilling holes in bumpers.
. Front plates are vile.
Tried searching for M501 Bumper Plugs, or Seneca Blue Bumper plugs, but nothing came up. So, probably gonna have to pick a bumper plug for another blue car and hope it's mostly close. Or maybe just get one thats close and use a touch-up kit to paint it to match.
Not sure I want to have the front of the car fixed and sprayed to remove the holes, because with the flake in the blue, I can imagine that they might not match it correctly and I'll be more annoyed by the difference in shade, than I would have been with the bumper plugs.
I was thinking it's possible that maybe Ford Grabber Blue might come slightly close to Seneca Blue. Or Nitrous Blue off a Focus RS.
I suppose its possible a shop could fill it and paint the top to match, but it wouldn't last.
