I have just removed the front wheel arch liners again, the second time in two years which may have to become an annual event, to remove leaf debris etc that gets stuck behind them as well as removing lots of little stones that get trapped in the cooling fan shrouds and the suspension arms.
Am think of replacing the torx screws with stainless replacements.
Anyone done this and where to get them.
Only ones I could find so far are these.

Torx screws listed are not a perfect replacement as they do not have they raised shoulder underneath the head that locates into the holes in the liners.
But apart from that they are a perfect size and am sure they will still keep the liners in place.
Not that my OE ones are particularly rusty but some are worse than others and if I need to pull the liners off every year I like the thought of stainless ones.
 
The shoulder prob stops them being overtightened and splitting the plastic. Mine are rusty too...maybe just replace them now and again.
 
I usually rub down, give a coat of cold galv spray and a coat of satin black. Screwing into a bit of wood holds them for spraying. Easily keeps them ok for a couple of years.
