Help removing interior trim, 2006 R50

Hey guys, I am working on blacking out the chrome/grey bits on the interior of my 2006 MC.

I was easily able to pop out the chrome cupholder rings, upper door speaker covers, and chrome rings around the hazard lights and display light dimmer switch.

Can anyone tell me how I can get off the lower door speaker cover, tach chrome ring, and chrome speedo ring? I'd like to do all the grey dash bits black as well if they are not too complicated to pop out.

Thanks for any replies!

The speaker covers are held in with 'plastic rivets' - you need to removed them from the back side of the panel.
For the tach, you need to remove it (two screws) then remove two screws from the back and cut the sticker which covers a tab that holds the fascia on at the bottom.
See here for details.
Not sure about the speedo. On my Nav version, it just snaps off. I thought the speedo was the same.
