He was near French people, so it was fine.
One pinged off and hit my wheel at Le Touquet...'friendly fire?'

Correct.
Well, I've had no trouble with my stainless steel bolts, they are set to the correct torque of 98Nm -/+10Nm (as per Owners Manual Page 155).
However, I do have my originals but they could do with re-chroming, any suggestions?

Whilst on the subject, if anyone needs new standard wheel bolts, Graypaul Nottingham have 7 going for £10.80 each, which is a large saving on standard. If interested, ask for Perry in spares and tell him I sent you.
Are there other options beyond SS that won't rust?
Why was SS chosen, is it just cost / it doesn't rust?
I've seen titanium, and alloy used on other cars.
I do recall replacing fixings on my Elise with stainless, but suspension bolts were simply zinc plated correct tensile mild steel for this very reason.
4200 bolts I assume Mr D?
