I removed the black insert part with the 1 screw in the middle & saw the 2 screws.
they were tight,.
The top & bottom of it wobble about
do i have bits broken off it ?

On my S2 there is a screw in the bottom of the bottle holder.
Once removed the top part of the bottle holder can be taken out which reveals two more screws holding the main bit of trim including the 12V socket.
On mine one of the plastic tabs which secures the trim had broken and I need to glue it.

If I'd seen this earlier I would have shown you - nice to meet you by the way! :D

Hello.
thanks - sorry, forgot about this problem when i met you.
got a few niggles i need to sort out.
Theres nothing at the top both bit just wobble about - same for the bottom
i'll probably silicone it!

the exhaust seems far too back.... ?? strange one.
ill put it in a new thread too
its a exige S exhaust instead of the twin pipes.
