Default how do u change the air filter?

I have always changed the air filter on all of my cars in the past with ease. but the fiesta seems to be somewhat difficult.

Could anyone explain how to get the cover off the air filter housing?

I am pretty confident you have to take the entire plastic cover off the top of the motor, once its off turn it upside down and there are some screws to remove. The air filter is actually housed in the plastic engine cover.
