Those are called rivets which are extremely durable and strong when installed correctly using a rivet gun, however, standard stainless bolts and nuts sourced from a local hardware store will work just as well.
I have ordered a few parts from these guys over the past years, and always had an successful business with them. I live in Iceland and have to pay a few extra bucks for the shipping, so Aaron sends me email right away about it. I take care of it and receive the product a few days later.

Bought, received, and installed. If you own a Mini Cooper... Bookmark this website. I purchase shocks for my hatchback and installed them in minutes.... MINUTES! Before I knew it they were here. I deliver pizzas and need my hatchback and it was so quick and easy. If you love your Mini like I do, this is the "Best Resource" website you can have. Owning your Mini is for the "Rich"... Love driving your Mini.... "It is a life changing experience". It is a feeling you never felt before, hard to explain... I love my girlfriend but my Mini takes me to places physically and emotionally is the only was to describe it. Mini is a "cliche"... It hold a HUGE part of my heart that can never be replaced.

In the MINI community there's three stores that I get my items from, and every time, I find the best deals here! Website experience is amazing, providing great detail on what each item does to your MINI. Customer service is also fantastic! IF your ever hesitant to ask a question about a certain part, go ahead and give them a call!
