Depends if you want to mark the dash. Be very careful with your screwdriver. Other way is to remove the glovebox on passenger side and push the grille up from the bottom and the clocks the other side. Would be easier with the screwdriver!!!!!      Cheers      Deano

It's not too bad the glovebox removal is easy. The clocks are a bit awkward. There is a screw behind the arched blanking plate on the bottom left of the clock surround. There is one on the right hand side of the clocks but I don't know where (I snapped mine here). When the clock surround is gone there are two screws holding the clocks in and the plug on the back. Then you should be able to push the grille up!!     Cheers     Deano

Difficult bit I found on removing clocks was a clip on the headlight switch. You prise out the end plate (abs waring light) and inside that to the left is a push in clip to release the headlight switch. found the rest dead easy aftre that!
