Finishing touches on Winch install - OEM bumper

[Toothgnasher]

I am looking to put the finishing touches on my winch install. - Filler plates have been ordered from Maximus-3, but how do people fill the holes left behind by the bolts removed when you pull the filler plate off the bumper?

Try some of these!!!

I would just put the factory bolts (or bigger versions) back in it. Use some washers on the underside if needed. That way it all looks uniform.

I guess that works. I'll need to source some nuts for it.

Just take the spring nuts off the cover plate. Dont clip them over the bumper. Just use them like a normal nut. Thats what I did.

That was so stupidly obvious I can't believe I didn't think of that.

The simplest solutions are often the easiest to overlook.

I just used the right sized plastic push in rivets.
