Bumper plug question

I bought a 2015 981 from a state/province that required front plates. The paint is all original, with 8 year old PPF that I want to replace over the winter.

I also had an idea that while I am doing that, maybe I should try a color change wrap to racing green.

If I do the wrap, I am wondering if there is a way to fill the plate holes, that is reversible - meaning that if I remove the wrap, the plugs go back in. I don't want to repaint the bumper.

So the question - is there product that I could use that would be smooth under the wrap without sanding? or should I just wrap the plugs?

Opinions welcome

That sounds like a cool project for your 981! If you want to fill the front plate holes in a reversible way, you could consider using some removable plugs specifically designed for this purpose. These plugs can be inserted into the holes and easily removed without damaging the bumper or requiring any sanding. They should provide a smooth surface under the wrap. Just make sure to choose plugs that are a good fit for your specific vehicle model. Good luck with your winter project!
