V8 Vantage tread plate fasteners

[V8V CG]

Does anyone know what tool I need to remove and replace the sill tread plates? The owner's plates in the centre of the tread plates are fastened with crosshead screws, but I have no idea what the main fasteners are.

Thanks.

Remove the sill plaque first and if I recall, the tread plates are held on with 2 torx screws underneath.
Easy peasy 2 minute job!

Yep, there are 6 torx screws in total - two under the plaque.

I thought they were Allen heads?
At least they were on my first one

+1 mine are Allen head bolts, MY 2010. Polished alloy tread plate if that makes a difference.

Doh! Yes they are Allen heads. Excuse my posting without due care and attention
