Bumper Plugs - Fill those number plate holes!

computid · 02-12-2015, 02:53 PM

Hi All,

So I hate having the front plate mounted slap bang in the middle of my bumper, and I also hate that my dealer decided to drill straight into the bumper and then fit it with self tapping screws

The only solution I could come up with was to get a body shop to fill the holes and spray the bumper, quite expensive and time consuming!

Then I stumbled across these guys:

http://www.bumperplugs.com/

They make a small plug, sprayed to the colour of your car with apparently a 19 stage finish, which just goes in the hole and makes it look stock.

I was planning to order some (they're $27.95) but it's another $27.95 to ship them to the uk!

SO, I messaged them and they said if we can come up with a group order it'll be $27.95 to ship combined them regardless of how many orders we can get. This way we can split the shipping cost into much more manageable chunks.

If we get 5 orders or more then they'll knock 10% off the price as well

Anybody interested? Post up below if you are, if we get a couple of people I'll message them back to set it up.

Cheers!

Adam

Interested as I've moved my plate. Only problem is I have 6 holes in my bumper so could get expensive!

They look rather ugly to me

Each to their own, but it's a hell of a lot easier/cheaper then filling the bumper!

I get it in the USA where a front plate is not a legal requirement in some states, but I don't get why you would want a wonky car over here. The search for beauty is in symmetry!

Because then you can fit a removable plate mount so you can get rid of the ugly plate from time to time

I guess for shows. I always think US cars look odd without a front plate, I guess I am just that used to seeing one.

Personally not keen on them. I'd rather leave the plate in place lol

Feck me thats a rip off! for that price i would want something to maybe hide the hole a bit better. From the picture on their website it sticks out like a sore thumb and looks like 2 plastic cheap plugs have been put in, which they have, but far from Cheap!

I think I prefer holes!
