M8 is the thread size, and it would be between 20 & 25mm long.

Hope that helps

M8? that would be way to small unless i am looking at the wrong thing..

i am looking for the bolts that holds the bumper brackets to the body..no the ones that hold the bumper to the bracket.

Yep. All my cars are M8. Original fit is the same bolts holding the pan to the body.
