Removal of front license plate?

I have an 11 335is and want to remove my front license plate. It's screwed into a black plate that I haven't tried to remove yet but there will obviously be holes. Any ideas on removal? Plugs? Best option?

I did something similar to a lancer
i took out the front license plates and filled with holes with epoxy glue
then i sanded it down and repainted bumper. its held for almost 2 years now.

Get the license plate off? All i did was unscrew it and pull it off. Then you need to drill the holes bigger for those plugs and then just stick them in

If the plugs don't match the color doesn't it look weird?

Go to **********s.com and look under exterior. You'll find bumper plugs that match your car perfectly! They are cheap too. I just did this about 3 weeks ago and I'm very happy with the outcome If you want to you can look on my page under albums to see what the plugs look like installed.

No problem. Just so u know tho, you're going to have to drill out the bumper holes a little bigger to make the plugs fit. I thought they'd just pop in but that's not the case. Easy to do, just saying. Good luck!
