It is a "security" star drive you need. The Star bolt has a spindle in the centre so you need a security star drive with the centre cored out to remove it. I got a set from Halfords too.

F-knows why it is "security" for the grille but there you go!!

As a lot of folk seem the think the silver mesh in the bumper ruins the look of the car, I'd be very interested to see what it actually looks like without it, or sprayed black.

Surely pink is the only spray paint you should use.

OMG - I can't think of anything worse IMHO.

I'll await the results of this photoshop, should someone be up for it.

LOL @ spraying it pink. That would be a decent shop, too. :lol:

They do contrast well though. Especially against the black grill.
