Just pull it up and out..Actually the main body is clipped in you can see the clips to the right and the left of the entry of the small part you removed. you have to take the air ducts off first.

to each is own, everyone has their own sense of style, Im also thinking of possibly painting my calipers and engine cover just to be a little different. Im glad to see peoples different style and thoughts that way I get to see what and what doesnt flow on the car.

Dont pay attention to that little girl bro.... Your red engine cover and red brakes look great.
Personally since your car is a gray/blue color i would of made the engine cover a dark blue, or a silver color.
Red only looks good with black since it stand out more.

I'm not..
The box is under the hood so its hidden 98% of the time anywayz..
I rarely open my hood between services (thank goodness) except to clean the engine an refill my washer reservoir.. I don't know where that fluid keeps going...
I like the blend of the calipers over the blue/gry and you;re right its no where as pronounced as it is with a black car. I like it that way adds a bit of class back in the mix.
My main reason was getting the rust from my new rotors covered. Plus the 4 piston brakes are actually made by Brembo.. so it seemed only fitting that they are colored like most brembo calipers which are red..
That gray with the mercedes logo looks good for the first 6 months or so, then it gets dirty and there is no way to make it look good again..
I'm looking for white caliper decals next.. All I found for these calipers were AMG decals.. I just won't go there... I found some that said Brembo... that might work but I'd rather them say mercedes if I can find some..
Thanks for your thoughts...

i know exactly whats going on with your washer fluid
Some ******* stole my headlight washers.
They just lift the cover and pull the unit out... so when you fill the washer tank with the liquid it all just leaks out of the whole where the nozzle used to be for the headlight washers.
Just lift the cover under the lights when you get a chance and you will see that there gone.
just have any body shop plug them with a .25 cent rubber peice or do it yourself.
anyways theres not point to them anyway
