I bought a bumper that has PDC but my car does not. Instead of having empty holes there collecting bug corpses, I've been told that there are plugs to patch the hole. I went to my local BMW dealer and was told that these plugs do not exist. Does anyone know of a link (aftermarket) where I can purchase these plugs or if BMW has a part number that I can order with? Any help is appreciated

You might try http://www.bumperplugs.com/ although I'm not sure they make one big enough for a PDC hole...
If not, I'm sure a body shop could fill them for you.

Thanks for the link, I e mailed Eric but he stated that the biggest plug he made was the size of a dime. I'm sure a body shop could help me also but the bumper is already painted and clear bra'd. I'm guessing that this part i'm seeking is not offered by BMW?

let me know if you find anything and i'll let you know if I find anything. At this point I really don't mind them being hollow but I would PREFER it be filled. I'm thinking of just filling them in with some type of putty and cut out some type of plastic to fill it in. It'll work for the meantime I'm guessing
