2003 R50s and Torx head screws?

Can anyone help verify whether the 2003 model has screws with Torx type heads? I did a rear wiper delete the other day and the hatch cover had phillips heads. I'm about to change the belt tensioner so I felt around the wheel liner which has to come off. It also appears to have phillips screws. I made an impression with a piece of paper of the screw heads I couldn't see, and those were also phillips. Looks like I don't need to by a Torx driver?

I think most interior screws are torx. Dash, etc.
