Strange screw

On my corsa I need to get this plastic bit out the back right hand side of my car to get to the water pipe for my back wind screen. There is a strange screw there I have never seen before it looks like a Allen key screw bit its two pointed its more like a star shape I have tried both flat head and Philips screw drivers but no luck. Can any one help no out here?

It's a torx screw.

Torx Screw. Local autofactors would probably small kits with different sized head attachements. More common on interiors

Are they easy to get hold of? Such as halfords or something of the sort?

Yeah, halfords will have them. Shouldn't cost you much at all.
