Opinions on front license plate holes on x5m

I just took delivery on my 2010 x5m. (Pictures coming soon)
Unfortunately the previous owner or dealership drilled holes in the front bumper.
6 to be exact!
Anyone have any opinions on what I should do?
I was thinking either putting a euro plate on or have the whole bumper repainted.
Bumper plugs are out of the picture since I would need 6 of them.

If you live in a state that requires front bumper, stick it on it and avoid the potential hassle. I don't think it detracts from the looks at all. But i'm weird like that, I think bumpers look odd without one (except super cars/cars with extreme tapered front ends).

In the state of Georgia we don't require a front plate. So we only get one plate to use. Currently there's a dealer tag in the front right now. Never understood why the would drill holes in the bumper of a 100k car.

eh, to mount a front plate, maybe?

Personally I find euro plates tacky; if the holes bother you that much, have them filled & painted.
