undertray and underpan bolts/clips?

kind of a stupid question, but does anyone know what bolts and/or clips the undertray (plastic piece under the radiator area) and the underpan (aluminum pan that goes under oil pan area) need? i'm looking at the underside of the car it seems there is a mix of different things needed. only thing i really see for sure are 10mm bolts (M6 i think??).

and is there any difference between undertrays from NA and TII? for some reason there is a drain opening, it looks like it is for the rad drain, but it doesn' match up to where my actual rad drain is...

As I recall for the under tray:

Eleven 10 mm bolts

five in the front, two on each side, 3 in the rear.



For the under pan:

five 10mm bolts

One in each corner and one in the front middle.

And Turbos and non Turbos use the same radiators, so the drain is always in the same spot. The only difference is between series for the under tray.

so all bolts. interesting, i must be missing something in the front on the underside of the bumper, because there is nothing really for the bolts to go into.

and yeah, i must have an undertray from a different series then, because the drain hole doesn't match up.

thanks for that info Mark.

I went to Ace and took one of my old bolts. I want to say it was 1.0. I got fairly short bolts, 1/2 inch maybe (it's been a while since I messed with them). I also used a washer around them because the heads of the bolts I found were a bit small.
