    What thread size and head type are front bumper bolts? The captive nuts I got with my new deformation panel are 8mm thread which seems a bit small going by the size of holes in the bumper:thinking:

    M8 is correct, you need a wee bit of wriggle room.

    Make sure the captive nuts in the new deformation panel are in the correct position for the bumper you intend to use.

    Thanks for that, It’s a Brazilian panel so I will need to drill and fit captive nuts to fit my original bumper. What type of bolts though? I don’t remember what type were fitted
