just pull the clocks out and ease the clips out so you can pull the front off them.
i trimmed the hole a little bigger to fit the 16x2 display with a stanley knife and under that i had to hack away quite a lot of white plastic to fit my lcd into it.
This is whats under the plastic front:
No where near big enough by Muzza1742, on Flickr
and this is what was left of it once i'd finished
Much more room by Muzza1742, on Flickr
and the fitted lcd:

you could easily cut down on the hacking if you changed the lcd to a normal hd4770 one instead of the serial unit i used.
Its held in place just by pushing the front back onto it

sorry mate i just aint got the time at the min, sorting out my bumpers and doing the decorating in the house is taking most of my spare time.
if you want a professional version i would check out zada-tech. they aint cheap but you would get proper support if anything went wrong and finished code (mines still a bit work in progress and ive still got to integrate the ODB2 adaptor)

no worries lad. see when you split open your clocks how easy does the plastic in this pic:

Firstly, apologies in advance for bumping a 2+ year old thread. 
Secondly, is there anyone on here that could build and fit one of these to my LCR?
