    Removing plastic trim around speedo?

    Can't for the life of me work out how to remove the trim around the dials. Undone the two screws at the top. Feels like it doesn't just need pulling out though? what am I missing?

    And be careful not to scratch the top of the steering column shroud.

    Just to add to what these guys have said. What your struggling with are two metal trim clips, they can be a bit tough to pop loose. If you want to take extra care then remove the lower dash trim and look right up on both sides from underneath of the trim, from behind you'll see the clips protruding. With a large flat head you can pop them through from behind without so much risk of breaking or marking anything.
