if you can't really manage, you could always try drilling the centre of the screw.

A friend of mine did me a really good deal on a fedanza lightweight ally job and it wasnt much more than the price of a balance so i couldnt turn it down. Cheers for you help though. Chris.

Bumper now off...time to search for a facelift bumper then
