Parking in my garage and I hit the shelves on the back wall. Instead of thousands for a new bumper all I need to do is replace the front license plate holder for what, fifty bucks? It's a life saver!

This never happens in Florida because the state only gives you a rear license plate. Front plates are not required.

So..

What holes? I have no holes in my bumper. Not on the OEM bumper, or my M-tech kit.

At 3am or 4am with beer goggles on, a hole is a hole right?

How much is one of those OEM prepainted license plate holders anyway?

I actually just touched up the scratch with some BMW touchup paint and clearcoat I had handy. It's barely noticeable. Next time I'm at the dealer I'll order the new holder.
