10mm is fine. Even that is over kill on a car as light as a seven! A decent grade of M8 would do the job! If you are concerned though, just go up to
10.9 or 12.9 grade bolts, they aren't as expensive as you may think. I just brought a 200 box of M6 12.9 bolts for £10! Ok, M10 will be more but
you get the idea.

I know your car isn't a seven, but I would also suggest that the 10mm size bolt will be fine, but as above - if you want to make sure, then just
up the bolt to 10.9

I live close to the german border so making it porbably too strong.
At rear I use bottom 2 M12 8.8
At rear upper 1 M16 8.8. 
That will hold.
