Having got a new set of uprated bulbs for the xenon headlights. I took the bumper off today to fit the new bulbs (and also replaced the tattered air feed pipe I found)

every one of the screws along the bottom sheared

So where is the best place to get new ones as also need the clips that the screw goes into ...the sort of U clip ?? and are they available in stainless steel??

I replaced all of mine in that area with m5 stainless bolts and chimney nuts.

as said, standard stainless M5 (5mm thread), I use cap head bolts that undo with an allen key, much easier and faster... and don't use speed clips, they are for self tapping screws which still rust... use chimney nuts for use with bolts and you will have no trouble getting them undone again....
