Default Fitting ACRyan Grille to Lian-li Case

I've recently brought a rad grille, the ACryan Thrust, to fit in the top of my Lian-li case along with a couple of fans, both my case and the grille are black aluminium.

I always like to keep things a bit tidy and like a bit of attention to detail so wanted to fit the grille to the case using some nice anodised aluminium socket screws but I've been pulling my hair out trying to find a supplier in the UK who can provide me with black anodised aluminium socket screws (you know the screws that need an alan-key to tighten up).

Does anyone know where in the UK I could purchase screws like this or something similar that will not spoil the look of the case and grille.

I'm guessing since you said bolts you don't have a Thermochill rad so it'll most likely be M4 thread and since you mentioned fans im gessing you want them to go through the Grill, Case, Fan and into the rad yeh?

If so you're after M4x35mm or "maybe" M4 x40mm though I suspect the latter will be too long.

I've probs got some here if you can't find any.

Marcus000, thanks for the offer but I actually managed to find a shop in central London yesterday, one of these old run down places with thousands of different types of screws. +rep anyway.

I'm not actually water cooling so the grille is not for a rad but to go on top of my Lian-li case with a couple of LED fans for a minor mod. I must admit though water cooling sound like the biz but I can't really afford it and I'm a bit scared to pump water into my PC.
