    Default help removing front bar

    Hi all. im in the process of changing over my front bar on the exec, ive read the guide that is included in the how to section for painting your lights black so i know what needs to be done.
    I have however ran into one small problem. The two plastic screws that are right near the licence plate arn't unscrewing.. any suggestions re: how to remove these? They spin but they just wont come out..

    As you said, they are only plastic and will give way with pressure. If you can, grab the heads with a pair of pliers and yank them straight out.

    Next, if that doesn't work, you can lever the screws out of their bases with a screwdriver under the head.

    If that doesn't work, you can yank the bumper off with them still in place

    one other quick question, figured better to ask here then start a new thread.
    I noticed my car is leaking an orangey sort of liquid from near the radiator.
    Any suggestions?
