is it the tailgate or the front bumper?

if its front bumper you can diy it pretty easy with some filler, P180, P320 for the repair

then either grey scotchbrite or P800 or P1000 or P1200, you pick.

just rub the holes so they are flat, mix up some filler, poke it in the holes so it overflows, let it dry, rub down with p180, finish with p320, primer it, basecoat then laquer.

the tailgate can be harder as when the screws go in or when its drilled, the metal is pulled forward, so it will need grinding down first, then filling.

can do a more detailed guide if you need it

yeh its in the front bumper just like that but there would be 2 holes showing either side, what kind of fller should i use and where can i get t from?thanks for the help so far

just normal car body filler.

halfords sell the small tins for about a fiver, P38 or P40 i think it is. just easy sand filler.

you'll only need a tiny bit of it though
