HELP! Where can I find these little screw PN?!?!
 
Does anyone know where I can find the part number for these little screws. They are located under my bumper and are pretty low profile. I assume to limit any more catching of the bumper, than I already do. I got the car a few months ago and it has been like this since then. The plastic bar that it holds on to, is being secured by 1 screw and a piece of tape on the other side. Someone please help before I lose it all together.

Ace Hardware, Lowes, Homedepot. That isn't how the car was assembled. There are no fasteners across the lower edge of the bumper to secure the front splash pan. The splash pan merely slides in above the inner lip of the bumper and is secured on the aft end of the pan.

Its not to secure the splash pan. It attaches to a long plastic piece, probably 1" x 1" and the length of the front of the car. It even has mating metal clips for the screws on that piece. Someone really went out of their way to make this look OEM if that is the case. All that being said, your probably right, I should just go to a hardware store since they are just some screws.

Probably a diy job to cover being curbed to many times... There isn't any form of reinforcement as you describe attached to the front bumper. The front of splash pan merely reset on the underside of the bumper. Good luck with your retro repair.

For future reference take a look at. realoem.com Enter your vin number and search the various areas for all parts for your cars build sheet as it rolled of the assembly line.

Actually i've seen this. Some models got a small plastic spoiler on the bottom of the bumper. It shows up on parts diagrams. Its secured with strong double tape. Previous owner probably installed screws to keep it in place then after the spoiler broke down (hence the many scratch marks) he left the screws in place to hide the holes? anyway just a theory.
