Default Kit fix

I am wondering if anybody knows how to patch holes up on the body or if I have to replace the body. I bought a Camaro police car and the light bar was placed too far forward so I relocated it into a more accurate position. Now I have 4 holes where the screws held the light bar in. Any suggestions? The top is white.

Oof, well I guess it depends on how nice you want it too look. You might be able to find a plastic welding kit and fill the holes. You might get some abs plastic, as the body is likely abs, and use abs glue. Cut pieces and stick them to the underside and fill the dips that are left. You could do it quick and dirty and just use stickers.

inam going to guess the plastic would go on the under body but is there anyway to patch the holes from the top since the hole would still be there even with the plastic under?

If you just do not want holes in the roof why not just get screws or bolts to fill in the holes with nuts underneath holding them in as a filler. Paint the bolt or screw heads white to look a little better.
