Silly question, but on the VX LS1s, how the hell do you remove the plastic radiator cover?
I've tried unscrewing the four plastic screws but they just spin around in the grommit and don't unscrew.
Am I doing something wrong?
Cheers.

those little scrivets are bastards of things. I usually get a flat head screw driver and jam it into them and lever the screw bit up, then get some pliers and reef them out.

I then change them to the later VZ style ones which push down and pull up much easier :)

Interesting, got a part number mate?
