front plate removal and plugs to fill rivet holes.....
I removed my front plate last night and had an Invincashield 3m front panel section (from a kit I won last year) so went to my dealer who had some nice small MB interior "expansion plugs" that worked well with some touch up paint. They fit the rivet holes and then you press in the peg so it expands. They are not long or very wide and seem to work well short of replacing the front panel with new and then having them painted. Cost nothing and if necessary front license plate can be added easily once again by fully pressing peg through plug and removing the plug.

thanks Steve....your "cheap" solution spurred me on and free is a very good price too!
Did not have to remove front panel...as I was drilled off heads of rivets they got hot and as I pulled a bit they slid right out of the panel.
