    If you are talking about the plastic splash guard.

    I was just under there a few days ago, they are 12mm bolts with a 1.25 thread pitch.

    i dont think its M12 because its not structural (the spash pan) no reason to use such heavy bolt

    If its the splash pan its M8 shoulder bolt (11mm shoulder)
