Stupid question - what size are the bolts that hold the glovebox in?

Glovebox looked a bit wobbly when my missus opened it the other day. Tightened all the bolts up but noticed one's missing on the underneath far left. I took the glovebox out last year but was sure I put them all back in. I can see that the glovebox fixing hole doesn't quite line up with the corresponding threaded hole in the dashboard itself, so maybe I gave up after struggling to get it back in...

Anyway, need a new bolt, any ideas on diameter/ length? I know the socket size I used to tighten them was 8mm, please excuse my obliviousness. Also not sure if I need a specific type, the tips of the existing bolts are unthreaded.

I'm assuming the two '8's on the head mean its some type of 8mm bolt?

Thanks
 
If you get in contact with TPS tell them the bolt size 8mm and where it came from they should be able to sort you out or you could just call Audi parts and request some from them canny c them bring to dear
 
Had a ring around and TPS south east could order one in but not deliver, gave Audi Chingford a ring, 37p to order in and they'll ring me when it's in. Great as I work around the corner :D Wicked guys, thanks!
 
Actually so annoying. So got the screw, but the hole in the glovebox didn't line up very well with the threaded hole in the dashboard fixing. Gave it a little bang and it sort of clicked into place above the hole, but on tightening the screw, it goes in a little bit then gets real tight. So I guess at some point I managed to cross thread the hole the screw goes into. So now basically need to take the whole glovebox out again and tap the hole. Looooonng
 
Pretty sure these are the same as the bolts for the lower dash trim which is part number n91017501 m5x18 like someone said earlier.
