    Haha, that's allus an option, but I'd ideally like to get it off undamaged, cos they're not cheap, and they tidy the area up nicely. The previous owner put it on.

    One possibility is it twists on, with an expanding part inside
    I am sure you have tried but a good counter clockwise twist?

    Tried it both ways, and squirted some WD40 behind it.

    turn the outer anti-clockwise which should slacken it, then just prise out with a couple of screwdrivers

    What can you see from the other side?
    Shine a torch and hopefully the fixing type will be identified

    Of course I am sure you have done this but just covering all the bases
