Default Where to buy bolts for classic STI fog covers

They look like M5 x 20 with an unusually wide philips or posi head.

Sadly mine were rusted solid and I had to drill them out to get the covers off. Any ideas where I can get new ones?

Definitely M5 - it's a '96 car with the older design of fog covers.

Would Subaru dealers do them, given that they weren't fitted to any UK models? (At least, none that I can think of...)

B&Q do a baggy with some silver bolts and the washers to go behind them. Replaced mine recently as they were rusty. Can't remember if they are M5 or M6, I took the old bolt along and held it up to the bag in B&Q to make sure I bought the right size!!

Look nice when they are shiny - but I think they will need replacing each season to keep the fresh look.

Thanks guys - I've no doubt I can get a bolt that'll fit anywhere, I'd just prefer to have the original ones if poss. I'll give one or two scooby dealers a call, failing that it's B&Q as you suggest.
