Default Interior front door trim removal

Has anyone on here had the interior front door trim removed before on a R53? I don't mean the doorcard itself but the arm bolster and the surrounding plastic bit.

Basically I want to colour code mine to the same as the exterior paintwork so I got the paint mixed up specially at the weekend and then went to take them off yesterday but have noticed that they are actually plastic rivetted on to the doorcard.

I can easily chisel these off to remove them, as that's what I did when I retrimmed my 206, and then use small self tapping screws to attach them back on again from behind the doorcard. but I don't want to do it if there's nothing behind the plastic bits for the self tapping screws to attach to once the plastic rivets have been chiselled off.

Any advice would be appreciated
