front end ideas?

the previous owner of my TL apparently had a front liscence plate holder because now there are 2 glaring holes in my front bumper.
looking for ideas to cover them up. i thought about just putting another liscence plate holder on there but i dont really like the look of it.
the holes are in the actual bumper part (between the bottom of the grille and the top of the vents and foglights)
i was thinking of making some kind of metal plate or something - or maybe cutting it and putting metal mesh there (although i cant imagine that would look good.)

need ideas.

Bondo, sand paper and touch up paint... if you dont feel comfortable doing it yourself I'm sure a body shop wont charge too much to do such a small thing.

im sure i could do the bondo part, but my past experiences with touchup paint arent so good. the color never seems to match verywell, so you can always see the spot.

But would it be as noticeable as 2 holes or a metal mesh!!!

Do it right and have a body shop take care of it
