splash pan bolts_anyone know what size(s)? 200

Hi all,
I finally got around to ordering a new splash pan (took a serious rain storm and as a result car would not hold an idle until things dried out), but forgot to order bolts. anyone know what size they are? I recall people saying they were a 10 mm head, but am unable to find anymore out, as the search function is on vacation.

I was wondering if all the bolts are the same length, the width of the shaft, presumably some standard metric thread?.. i was hoping to walk into the hardware store and walk out with a few that would work. can't get to the dealer during the week, and I don't feel like paying shipping to order new ones.

Just an odd point, presumably the belly pan gets demolished when I hit a puddle of standing water, and gets ripped off. (I'll admit that has happened a few times when I can't tell the water has pooled, thank you crappy plastic volvo headlights.) However, I sort of expected that at least one of the 5 bolts would have remained in place, when the plastic got ripped off. Do the bolts themselves shear? or have I been a victim of someone helping themselves to my splash pan? Here's my theory, the plastic gets ripped off, now leaving a gap between the formerly tight bolt and the frame, and vibration and gravity just lets the bolts unscrew themselves. anyway, I know I USED to have one!

any replies are welcome... thanks,
