The one I have has the number plate recess filled, but if you have a rear bumper going spare then you could plastic weld the centre of the rear bumper into the number plate area. I have done a thread on fitting US marker lights which are easy to fit too.

Use proper bumper filler which will flex with the bumper - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-PLASTIC-BUMPER-FLEXIBLE-FILLER-CAR-BODY-REPAIR-/220291129608?pt=UK_Body_Shop_Supplies_Paint&hash=item334a5fe108#ht_2190wt_1052

Plus if you are thinking about going full US Spec and smoothing the top textured area then this is your best bet - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ULTRA-FINE-TOP-STOP-POLYESTER-CAR-BODY-REPAIR-FILLER-2k-/370299779811?pt=UK_Body_Shop_Supplies_Paint&hash=item5637963ae3#ht_2066wt_1052
