HOW TO FIX YOUR FRONT PLATE HOLES | DIY CHEAP & EASY BUMPER PLUGS FOR ANY CAR

Here's a cheap, quick, and easy do-it-yourself tutorial to fix those ugly front bumper license plate holes no matter what type of car you drive! Plus, retain the option of putting your plate back on in the future if you want to! Please read full description below for detailed information. IMPORTANT INFO: Please check your local rules, laws, and regulations before removing your front plate. Your city, state, municipality, country, or department of transportation may require you to keep your front plate on. Look into the regulations and find out if this is something you can do. You are removing your front plate at your own risk and assume all responsibilities associated with this DIY modification. With all that said - my wife and I recently traded in our 2017 F30 BMW 330e and got a new 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 4Matic. It's a beautiful car but it came with a front plate from the dealership. Since we're not fans of sporting a front plate, we took it off and of course saw the holes left in the bumper by the 2 screws that were holding it in place. So after a bit of research (turns out there's a company called bumperplugs but their plugs are huge and I wanted to keep the footprint of the fix as small and as unnoticeable as possible) I decided to fix those hideous holes myself with a little DIY project. Then I realized it's something anyone can do on any budget, for any car. So I decided to upload this video for anyone that's interested in doing the same modification to their vehicle regardless of brand! TOOLS & MATERIALS YOU NEED: 1) - You'll need touch-up paint in the color of your car. You can talk to your local dealership to purchase some, or try ordering online. This shouldn't be too expensive. I actually got my bottle for free from Mercedes-Benz Seattle (thanks Mike!) alternatively you can go to an auto parts store and try to color match as best as you can. 2) - You'll need a Phillips head screwdriver. You'll use it to take off your front plate, but you can also use the head to enlarge the holes JUST ENOUGH to allow for the Everlast plugs to be pushed in. 3) - You'll need to purchase a pair (2) of Nylon locking hole plugs. I bought mine from Home Depot and paid less than $1 for them. They're made by EVERBILT. The most common size for automotive application is 3/16 inch but you should DEFINITELY measure the diameter of your bumper holes beforehand. The idea is that you want the plugs to be larger than the holes, so that you can slightly enlarge the holes using the Phillips screwdriver to the point where once you apply some pressure they'll pop and lock into place. If you don't have a Home Depot in your area, any hardware or home improvement store will likely have these nylon locking plugs. If in the future you want to re-install your front license plate, you totally can! Just use a flathead screwdriver (I recommend you cover the tip with some painters masking tape to avoid scratching your bumper's paint) nudge them out, and then re-install the plate using your old screws. If they don't bite/thread correctly you may need to get slightly thicker screws, but that's super easy. And you're done! In total I spent less than $10, and that's taking the gas used to travel to and from Home Depot to buy the nylon locking plugs. The touch-up paint was free, and everything else I did myself. It's super easy and I highly recommend you don't shy away from trying it yourself. This video is not sponsored or promoted by anyone.
