Front license plate bracket removal

The dealer put this on my car.... I'm not happy with it but whatever I'll deal with the holes but how do I get this trash off my car

It's riveted. Just drill out the smaller center part and it'll come out.

Very scared to damage the bumper further

I wouldn't have taken delivery of it.

It's a shame they installed it that's for sure especially if you asked them not to but drilling it out will not do any further damage.

Yea, I told the dealer if you drill holes in my bumper the deal is off. That sucks...

Yeah, that would have been a 'no go' for me.

They did the same to ours as we picked it up. I freaked out at them about it.

Like an earlier post said, drill the rivets out. I had to do it when bought my Fiesta ST. Take your time and you'll be fine. After your done, get some bumperplugs, they sell them color matched to your paint.

Drilled it. Not happy at all...

Ah ok thanks, I've heard of a few problems with that dealership so I've avoided them my last two purchases, even though they are my closest dealership. Good to know it wasn't their fault though.

Tomball ford did great. It's forth that drilled it. And an employee curbed the wheels
