How do i get this cover off my engine??

Before i start trying to get this part of the cover off i was wondering if anyone knew how to get it off?
The sections just above the metal mid section & below the main engine cover & the other grey peice. In one of the photos you can see theres a black outlet coming out the back...thats the bit i want off

I can see one screw but apart from that thats it? theres a few inside the main engine cowl but dont want to loosen them & the mid section dropping off

These are the only photos i have, any help would be great.

Hi Luke
If you look at the first pic, right on the corner nearest the camera, on the bottom part (the grey bit) there is a lever, slightly to the right, you can just see it, push this down and pull the back of the cover up.

The plastic trim (called the apron) under the engine tray is simply held on with one philips screw near the saddle.

These parts diagrams are useful to identify components, etc.
