for the big ones underneath, i think its a t60, not sure about the ones behind the plastic trim.
taking mines off the other week, i rounded the big ones, the ones behind the trim just turned and ended up having to take the whole mounts off from behind using a 1/2" socket, and one of those snapped :?

Most of Halfords socket based tools are Draper Expert made by Draper for Halfords. Never had any seroius problems with them, and they have a lifetime warranty, break a socket, take it in and they give you another one :)

Only thing that they don't seem to do is a full range of 6 sided sockets, prefer them for rusty things as they don't tend to ring as easy.
