Shop on Long Island to fill front bumper holes

Hey All,

I was hoping to find someone in the area who can fill the front holes made my the plate on my Yas Marina blue f80 m3.

Has anyone had this done before? Any ideas on potential cost?

Thanks

if you're looking to go with a cheaper option, you could always get bumper plugs. I've used them on my e92 and looked fine.

Thanks. I would def use that option if it were only 2 holes. The four holes I think it would look a bit much.

Cheapest option would be to first try taping around the hole to isolate the work area, filling it, sanding it, then touch up, wet sand to smooth it out and polish it.

If that still bothers you, get it done professionally. What do you have to lose.

You'll prob end up repainting the entire bumper for rock chips too im assuming and then sanding as well? $300-400 per panel is usually what my shop charges me, and add some if blending is needed.
