Just bought a Pipercross panel filter, but can't seem to open the airbox. I've taken off both metal clips on the side but can only open it a crack and can see the edge of the current filter. Is there a special way to do this or am I just stupid? This is my first car and I have no experince. My car is a 1999 Corsa Club 1.2 16v.
Please help, cheers.

undo the metal clips, then lift it up at the side where the clips are and pull it across in the direction of the engine. It is hooked in on the other side.

oh yes its a jubilee clip so a flat bladed screw driver or a 6/7mm socket should do the job

Have you undone the clips on the wing side?

These are a bit hidden.

its a bit tough pulling it off the clips, just gently force it off.
