The only way I seem to be able to remove those nuts holding the letters on the grill of the engine lid are to destroy them and in the process break the posts on those letters. Is there a proper/easier way to remove them? TIA

All the 'correct' fasteners I've found are too small, but maybe I'm just buying the wrong ones. There's two sizes that were used across the Porsche line over the years. Lately I've been using a combination of a rubber washer and a round steel push clip. It's basically the same thing as the original, it just doesn't look original.
