They are held on with strange bolts,
Like a torx type not familiar with them

Could they possibly be what they call a 12 point. They use them on quite a few European cars. I know the barina is not European but count the points.

A 2004 Barina IS European.

All Holden Barinas from 1994 to 2005 (SB & XC) are sourced from Opel. They are sold in Europe as the Opel Corsa & in the UK as the Vauxhall Corsa.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0
