I am trying to remove the badge panel on my s2 to check the air filter element.I have removed the screws along the back,the four nuts in front of the lights and the two spire clip bolts at the outer edge of the panel. the panel should now slip out towards the front but mine will not any ideas or advice would be great, many thanks.
 
There are two (or possibly four) more bolts to the inside of the lamp pods. Once all the bolts are undone it slides forwards about half an inch & can then be lifted away.

While both the above are correct I read the OP saying he has done all of that, so my guess is that it just needs to be tugged harder.
 
Thanks for that,I think that I have all the screws and need to pull it harder, I'll try it this morning,many thanks.
 
Lift the back slightly so that it clears the lip and then slide it forward. It's quite a tight fit under the front edge sometimes, but it will come off - or your car is on its original air filter.[:D]

From the headlight wells towards the centre there might also be 2 screws (1 each side), my turbo still has them but many cars dont as they are hard to replace,

Thanks for that, I did not know about the two self tappers in the headlight well ,removed them and out it came,bonus, found a spare screw that some fitter had dropped at sometime, no trouble replacing the screws thanks to snap- on screw holder everyone should have one, thanks again.
 
I wasn't aware of those ones either - I wonder if they were commonly left out by dealer technicians or even if not all cars had them.
