Badger 63 Report post Posted March 29, 2019 When I changed my front number plate the other day I thought I would take the holder of to clean behind it and I noticed I had 2 small screw holes in teh front mustache bit from a previous number plate, is there an easy way I can repair these and hopefully match the colour of the moustache as I have a front import plate mount arriving and this will not hid them. I know the part is part of the front bumper so it has to be repaired in place unless I can get a new bumper without the holes.

will300 812 Report post Posted March 29, 2019 Unfortunately @Badger there is no simple or easy way to fix this (on the BRZ atleast). I've looked into this abit and the options I came across were: 1. Smoothing the moustache, filling the holes and painting it. - The bodyshop I took it to said they could do it, but it'll look terrible and he'd rather not do it. 2. Buy a US spec bumper / facelift bumper - Expensive 3. Wrapping the moustache - Cheap, but the holes would still be noticable 4. Cutting the moustache out. 5. Getting a moustache cover (Kansai Service make one) - Best option I could fine. 6. Replacing the bumper with an aftermarket one.

It's 2 small holes so might wait and get a new bumper as mine needs respraying anyway as it has some scratchesSent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 458 Report post Posted March 30, 2019 Could you not stick a plate on the back, fill in the hole and sand smooth and then wrap it? Should be cheap and not show the holes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
