how easy is it to remove the instrument cluster, is there a how to guide?

It just sticks over the old one mate, no need to remove the old one.
How do you get to the dials though.... Sorry that was what I meant

What do you mean by getting to the dials?
They are behind a plastic screen, you can still get to the buttons as there are cutouts

Sorry obviously I have not made my self clear . What I am trying to asertain is how you removed the plastic surround etc to access the dials to enable you to adhere the carbon surround on , or did you just stick it to the plastic cover in front of the dials ?

It just sticks to the front plastic of the dash unit mate

Have you managed to do this yet?? I've just got myself one of these but see your predicament with the clear panel in the way... Anyway, it can't be impossible or they wouldn't sell them...well mabey.

You don't remove anything. It just sticks on the top of the cluster.

.
It looks good in the photo but OSIR carbon tends to be very high gloss and I've always wondered if it adds reflections or if it's distracting. I'd love to see one in the flesh.

I suppose that if it just sticks on, you could alternatively use the new 4D carbon vinyl wrap but that could be tricky to apply accurately in the extreme!

I've got one fitted. Zero reflections - well that you notice when driving anyway. :)
