Hi there

Not difficult. You need radio removal keys for whichever model radio you have. These are sheet metal "keys" which slide up the side between the radio and the cage and release the catches at either side. You will probably have to take off the plastic surround to get the keys up the side.
Once you have the radio out, there are two small screws at either side holding the dash in place. That's it.

Before you worry about radio removal keys, try gently easing the radio out of its slot. Mine just came straight out without the keys.

Ahhh sorry i should have been more detailed, i mean the lower half of the dash board, not just the radio surround.

I know the top removes with just a few bolts and is very easy, but the lower half i want. i am having the car re trimmed in the next few weeks, and wonder if its easier to remove the lower dash or try and get it trimmed in situ sorry for the confusion
