Filling and painting plate rivet holes.

[Silverzedtom]

In the not too distant future I want to take my plate bracket off of the front bumper, fill the ugly holes, match in the filler and stick a smaller plate in its place.

I’d appreciate any advice on the filling part. Presumably I’ll need to get something bigger than the holes fixed behind somehow so the filler has somewhere to adhere to.

You'll be fine with a filler designed for plastic panels. Halfords do a specific bumper filler kit in small packs which is what I used when I did mine.

I plastic welded my holes up, and flattened back.

Earth magnets hold the plate in place.

Cheers. Hadn’t thought of plastic weld... would bond really well I’d imagine so I’ll give that a go first.
