Do they fit into the foglight mounting holes? Those are M6 x30mm.

Have you got the brackets as well?? You'll need 6 m6 x 30mm for mounting the brackets to the bumper and 6 m6 x 25mm panhead security allen (socket head) bolts for mounting the covers to the brackets. I'd suggest stainless steel ones too.

*edit* I may have some, I'll check tomorrow, send me a PM if you want em

For bolts, the easiest is usually Yell.com the UK's local search engine - search for United Kingdom businesses, then enter "Bolt and nut stockist" and go and see them. They will probably have them in stock, in stainless, and will sell you the amount you need in the length you need without having to buy a pack of ten, or a hundred.

Failing that try: Socket Cap Screws A2 Stainless Steel M6 x 25mm Pack of 50 - Screwfix.com, Where the Trade Buys

or: Socket Countersunk Screws A2 Stainless Steel M6 x 25mm Pack of 50 - Screwfix.com, Where the Trade Buys

Those last aren't countersunk, they are button head

M6 x 25 can only be one size: 6mm thread and 25mm thread length

Why would you go to Homebase when there are bolt and nut stockists that will sell you the number of STAINLESS ones you want, or Screwfix who sell STAINLESS in packs?

Screwfix Direct

Failing getting any, you can order from them and have them delivered next day, but small orders carry postage
