Guys
I removed my registration plate and I found few holes underneath and the paint is missing or damaged.
Only 2 still have internal thread, others are just large holes..
There is something you can suggest to help to patch it. plaster+brush paint?
I understand won’t be perfect but at least will look better from far.

Just get some filler on them if I was you..

You should be able to find somewhere that sells touch up paint on the internet if you have a little browse.

That's going to look crap unless you get a proper job done. I had similar repaired after removing my number plate plinth about 5 years ago for £275.

Just throwing some filler in won't last long.
Filler is porous, damp will get into the filler, the paint will peel off and before long the filler will fall out.

Thanks for all tips
For the moment I will do a simply patch with filler+paint and see how long last. Fix it professionally will cost too much

Which filler do you suggest before the paint?

Thanks

Get some rubber blanking grommets and paint them body colour.
Anything else you do will look utter st

Either this or get it repaired properly. Anything else will be an obvious bodge. Maybe use a stick on plate ?
