Fill and repaint, rubber plugs, colour matched mushroom headed aluminium bolts, stainless steel bolts.

Just use body plugs from any auto parts store.

Stick Australian flags in the holes and anchor them with electrical putty, or Earth flags. They're nice, too.

Curse, swear, spit and foam at the mouth as you fill them with bondo six or seven times and it still isn't flush.  Then eventually you get it right (at least that is my hope)


Actually what I did was plastic weld the inside then use bondo on the outside - it has been a tad laborious but now they are all but invisible.


If, however, you choose to go the flag route as suggested by Laitch I have found Union Jacks tend to make policeman salute and barriers raise as if by magic....

No flags, bondo, plugs, bolts or lights.  If you must be non-iconic cover the offending portals with motobrick stickers

Eghh, this forum doesn't agree with me. For those of you who can't read the miniature text of my previous post...

I got mine from a motorcycle shop, they had a box in various colours and sizes. I bought three 5 mm black mushroom allen heads to mount my mudflap.

Ebay has aluminium mushroom headed bolts in heaps of colours but could not see white. You could possibly paint them with a spray can.
