The plastic is an outer cover, there should be the alloy side casing underneath the plastic when removed, there was on my 180SP Runner.I took the plastic off and sent it for recycling.

Also you can fit the small front intake duct with a fancy air filter to the front end of the alloy side cover, makes a nice trick looking effect to finish it all off, I fitted one of PM Tuning's carbon ones with a K&N type oval filter, looks good !
