I'm planning to fit rad guards to the GSA and noticed that the fastener for the radiator frame isn't actually a screw but a plastic fastener that has a Torx head at the front but no screw on the rear, just a plastic collect type thing. Tried "unscrewing" but obviously doesn't unscrew.
Anyone have any idea on how to remove them?
 
Yeah just needs prised out, normally the guards have a torx screw and nut to replace it with.
 
Like the man says, best get a full set of pry/trim tools in the armoury, a well as a box-set of plastic rivets/fixings in case of breakages.

They cost peanuts - mine all came from AliExpress, required as an emergency measure when a window regulator failed on the wife's car. They have proved incredibly useful for various subsequent projects, bike & car.
 
This fastener likely has a center button which should be pressed in before easily prying it out.
