Tamora rear number plate

[LaserTam]

Before doing what I think I may have to do, has anyone got any bright ideas on the easiest way to change the rear number plate on a Tam?
I have tried removing the two hex screws on the plate, but they have a nut on the reverse side of the heat shield and its too tight behind there to get a spanner on the nut. So I think I need to remove the heat shield, but that I think means taking the splitter off.
Any bright ideas before I do this task tomorrow?
Cheers.

Right ok. Maybe slightly easier than dropping the splitter and yes, protect the paintwork at all times..
Thanks.

Job done, thanks for the tips. Didn't have to drop the splitter in the end, and avoided scratching the paintwork too! The screws were rusted solid on the plate though, drilled out and replaced.
