1:18 TSM 2003 Bentley Speed 8 #7

Hi!
I recently purchased a TSM Bentley Le Mans winner from eBay. A model I’ve been long, LONG after and finally made the difficult decision between TSM and Autoart.
It’s a fantastic model! The detail is incredible, but it’s very fragile. The rear wing endplate and wing mirror came off in transit - annoying, but fixable. The big annoyance is that it looks to be held to the base by wood screws that are too big and far from original. Not good for my OCD. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction for what screws I’d be after... or better yet, legit replacements? I contacted TSM, but their customer service is as helpful as a chocolate teapot and apparently can’t/won’t help me. 0/10 for effort.
Another thing is that half of the polystyrene packaging has snapped and has been lost. Fixing this would also help my OCD, but isn’t as big of a worry as the damaging screws.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers
Jez
