I want to replace these halogen down lights with LEDs but I can't seem to remove them.

Tried twisting / pushing and can just about get my nails under to pull them but they remain stubbornly stuck in place.

I can see a couple of springy looking metal bits down the sides but I'm not sure what to do with them.

Assuming they are GU10, usually you use a rubber sucker thing to get a grip on these things, then turn anti-clockwise.

Often you can just touch the surface of the bulb and turn anti-clockwise and it will move.

That inner bezel looks like it should turn, have you tried that?
