if its the same as the 04sti,which it probably is. then it just clips on over the top of the airbag.just slide something thin down the side of it and prize it up enough to get your fingers in to pull it up.

Just a wee update in-case any-1 else needs to do this.

Disconnect battery
Remove glovebox x 8 screws - disconnect wire for bulb
Remove 3 x10mm nuts holding the air bag in plus disconnect yellow plug and lift out
You have to prise the top cover of the air bag.
Battery back on.
30min job done.
