Default Hole confusion

So I brought home a 2002 XKR coupe for a PPI. It has holes on either end that I can't account for. The holes are symmetrical on both sides front and rear and expertly covered with aluminum tape. Look at the pics and speculate please!

Perhaps it had aftermarket parking sensors and/or cameras fitted which a PO subsequently removed.

Machine gun ports at the front. Flame thrower ports at the rear.

Failing that cameras for front and rear view. I assume you have a Sat Nav? He would have viewed them through that.

I cannot understand why any owner would *******ize a vehicle like that. Resale value instantly drops by 30% or more....

The car has the factory back up sensors. There are actually 4 holes around the rear license plate. Machine gun ports is looking more and more likely.

It is from Texas.

Well, I'm sure you got a 'deal' on it
