Interior Modifications Help

[Paps]

Hi guys,
I have a 2001 Boxster S and I was wondering if anyone knows the safe way to remove the dash plastic panel. I.E The plastic surround on the Climate control/CD player/ buttons(roof/ tc and dimister etc)
To make that clearer, its just the outer plastic not the guts of it.
I want to remove just this part so I can give it the Aluminium finish. I don't want to break anything so I was wondering if anyone has done it before to give me an idea.

If this isnt making sense let me know and il post a pic, highlighting the area I want removed

Thanks
