The heater control facial can be prised off with a small flat screwdriver,  the speaker grilles same again and the vents have Philips screws inside them.  You'll need to roll and lever the moving parts out of its locators to get it out for access.

Although it may be obvious, make sure your vents are closed before undo-in any screws. The moving part of the vents just pull out

Thanks for the info on the closing them bit ! Would have been a nightmare if a screw got down there !

I presume you undo the four screw and the whole radio part comes out with the vents ?

From memory you may need to remove the dash surround aswell as they are interlinked
