get some thin metal and make some barn door type panels for the hole and hinge em so u just basically open a door to em.

Or just get 2 strips of rubber and rivet them onto the bumper, wont be the best looking but cheap and will do the job.

fabricate some type of metal to pop in and lock and be poped out

i like memphis's idea....something like this but with some kind of pin to hold it closed or with some hinges with springs....a little paint work for example

itll probally be pretty cheap and real easy to do

leave it open,,, put some crome or rubber around the opening...
if not then just do the little flap and you don't need a spring but to 1 cm by 3cm peices of metal to hold it there jw i'll try to draw a pic on micropaint

Have you still got the section you cut out?
If you have just use that as a door with some rubber as a hinge on one edge

Or find some spot lamp covers that are nearly the same size and use them to cover the holes up
