I recently took of the piece around the dash. There is one (maybe two) screws holding it at the bottom - going straight up into the dash. On my US MINI, you can find one by opening the glove box.
After that it is all clips - including two at the top which I could only release by gently bending the top of the dash upwards slightly.
