    Can't find hardware for front valence

    I've unfortunately lost all the hardware for my front valence, and have been trying to search to find sizes or part numbers to replace all the missing bolts. Unfortunately, realOEM which is normally extremely useful in these situations doesn't seem to have the information.

    For specifics on what I'm looking for, I'm trying to find info on all the bolts highlighted in this picture:

    Unfortunately, here is the only information realOEM has on the front valence:

    As you can see, it doesn't actually break out any of the hardware.... if anyone has any info that could help me, I'd be super appreciative. Thanks!

    My contribution is only from a EU spec pre-face lift car (i.e. Chromie) perspective.

    If i recall correctly the front valance is fastened by 8G or 10G fasteners and speed nuts.

      So like wood screws? Is that a metric or imperial size...?

        Again, I'll qualify that these fasteners are used on my pre-FL car.

        But they are hex head screws with an integrated washer.
        May need to paint them your body colour.

        P/N for the speed nut (11) and bolts (9) should be in real OEM with a picture...

          I looked at realOEM and the way it broke out the part (I posted it above), did not seem to call out the bolts in the locations that I needed. But I headed down to the hardware store today to just pick up a few screws to see if they would work and you were spot on. They are #10 sheet metal screws. Thanks for the reply!

            No worries!

            Just keep in mind Real OEM is not an assembly diagram.
            There will be additional parts that you need but may/may not be shown.

            The parts table and qty required is a good pointer.
