Default Where to get bonnet scoop mounting bolts

I've managed to source a second hand bonnet scoop for my MY99 turbo but it only came with 3 mounting bolts.
The ones on my scoop aren't the correct ones, does anyone know where I can get the correct bolts from?

TIA

After spending most of the morning on Google and on the phone I've decided there's more chance of finding life on Venus
Time for plan B me thinks

can't you glue in another bolt? if you make it one of the back ones it's less likely to come loose again as the lift will be on the front bolts.

It might come to that. The scoop currently fitted only has 3 of the original bolts and the other 3 have been glued. However 2 of the bolts have come loose and the scoop really lifts when you hit 70MPH. I've stuck it down using some adhesive we use at work but that's only a temporary fix. The scoop itself is scratched as anything so it needs replacing, the trouble is I bought a new scoop without the bolts thinking I had a set already

i'd get some glue and spray activator from somewhere like wicks / b&q. glue the bolts back in and then get some decent body kit / windscreen adhesive and put a bead around the scoop before refitting. do it neatly and it won't notice and should be solid as a rock only problem would be when you want to take it off in future.
