Thumbs down
They are security bolts, Heaven only knows why!
Maybe they have issues with number plate theft in Japan?

Anyway, you need a Torx security bit set, about £10 from B&Q etc.

My friend being a skilled craftsman offered to remove the front bumper for nothing....



I politely refused.

Scooby-tc, drill them out if you don't need to refit them.
