The hole on the middle top of the photo?

Looks like M6 to me. The easy way is find one that fits from somewhere else in the engine bay and take it with you down to Bunnings. In the nut & bolt isle they have a thread tester board you can screw your bolt into to confirm you're grabbing the right pack.

thanks you were spot on and it was a m6 thread and the billet grille is now back in. :D hopefully this will keep out unwanted guests when I hit the northern territory in a couple of months time

Nice pic. Love the background. The 5 looks okay too :D
NA6 turbo - 140kw atw - not the most powerful but so much fun :D
