Default Licence plate holes and minor scratches

I have a 2006 V6 w/ Pony Package. I have had my car for a while now and when I bought it, the dealer put their licence plate on the front bumper.. Which is a logical thing to do.. So I have left it on there for a while but now I am getting sick of looking at it because I think it would look better with no front plate. So the other day I took of the dealer plate and what did I find? They took their plastic plate and screwed it right into the bumper!! Now I have to leave the plate on because it looks HORRIBLE with two huge holes in the bumper! What can I do to fill in those holes? I dont want to have to buy a new front bumper because of this! I was thinking of getting a like 13" Euro style plate that would cover up the space.. Is there such thing as a delete kit? I also have some minor scratches on my drivers side rear quarter panel.. What can I use to get rid of these? I haven't done the fingernail test but I am pretty sure they aren't that deep. McGuires Scratch-X? Has anybody used this?

Thanks for the help!

I used the plugs you can get at an auto store and painted them body color. Not sure about 4 holes though.

For minor scratches, try Turle Wax Ice Liquid Clay Bar.

a "Euro plate" what type of car do you think your driving


You can try putting plugs in there that match the color of your car

racing stripes would also cover it up and make your car look better

buy a new front bumper lots of people upgrade ot the gt pretty sure you could pick a v6 up for prett

Plus one to the plugs and touch up paint. I picked up a couple of plastic plugs at Lowes......

I have used 3M rubbing compound, and I have heard that the 3M scratch remover is supposed to be incredible.
