installation of plastic dashcap

Having recently purchased a 1982 500sl (euro), I'm looking to make a number of cosmetic enhancements. I’m going to put a plastic dashcap on because the dash is cracked in many places. Just received it in the mail, looks easy enough to install except for having to cut a hole in the middle of it for the square thermostat/temp sensor. Two questions:

1. What should I use to cut the hole in the plastic dashcap, it looks brittle to me and I’m afraid of cracking my $100 investment before I even start.

2. It appears to me the little square thingy covering the temp. sensor should come off, and that I should just replace it after installing the dash cap. Any ideas on how to pry it off without breaking things? Is it glued in place?



Thanks for the help.
