HELP/Mrs Woos Car

Good evening @fat controller my friend I have tracked them down as Torx Bolts ,I have a set of bits which will fit them,many thanks for all your help

 

Evening @wiseowl - tread carefully, as that doesn't look like a torx bolt to me; torx are usually five pointed:

 

I would suggest measuring the distance across the head from one flat to an adjacent one (see my rough image), and that will tell you what size of socket you need. I would guess 10 or 12mm

Turning the screw using a socket on the flats, you are less likely to muller the head, and lessen the risk of a screwdriver bit pinging out and scratching the paint. I'd also put some folded kitchen roll on horizontal surface that is underneath that bolt in case anything drops.

 

I will just be chuffed for Mrs Woo to be happy with her car, and our Woo to have gained a few brownie points.

I have saved a fortune thanks to car websites over the years (one in particular more than others), and in reality they are no different to here - - like minded people who just want to give something back to those that have helped them or others in the past. The best of it is, we all know that our Woo has already given so much in advice and assistance to us all, particularly when it comes to roses - - lets be honest, he is our 'go to' guy

 

Good morning all my friends and thank you for all your lovely comments

@"M"Just don't leave repairing the cars to me

@fat controller thank you my friend for all so well explained and documented posts ,I will tread carefully and will try and remove a bolt to day,and now I know that it is a Posi drive(I didn't know that) everyone enjoy your weekend


Have removed bolt there was nothing attached to the end,and it measures 2 centimetres long (including the head)

 

Good morning all I thought I would just update you on the progress with the rear bumper,it has been completed thanks to @fat controller for all his help ,now for the next project trying to get rid of the horrible coin scratch mark that runs along the full length of the passenger side which some xxxxx kindly decided to do one dark night,its not very deep but unsightly



It is there honest I could paint it out in Paintshop pro but it would still be on the car staring at me

 

Hi Woo

Glad you got sorted

I can't see the scratch on your photos at the moment, but if it's not deep I would be inclined to try T-Cut, Scratch X or even a polish that has a light cutting action such as AutoGlym Super Resin Polish

Failing that, if it is very light, consider a filler wax such as Bilt Hambers Auto Balm

 

Good morning @fat controller and again thank you my friend,I have attached two photos of the scratch ,Oh no you have given me three choicesI have some T cut I will try that first

 

Hi Woo

Nice and gentle with the T-Cut on that metallic paint, and make sure you follow it up with a wax or a polish; that scratch should buff out just fine

 

Good afternoon @fat controller that's my middle name "gentle" ,The T-cut I have is the Original,I need to get the colour one(red)
