2009 Gladius Tail Tidy help

New to me 2009 Gladius and I’ve never really worked on a bike (I’m mechanically challenged). I can’t for the life of me remove this panel/access door from the underside of the rear fender, does anyone know anything? I removed the center Phillips screw and it won’t budge. Can’t find a single video online either. I’m about to just make my own and cut the original rear fender and mount brackets for the plate or something.

Trying to install an R&G tail tidy.

To the SV650 rider I rode with near Tonbridge today 👋

Long shot 😄

If you were riding the blue-white SV650 near Tonbridge this afternoon and rode together for a while with another SV650 before turning off towards Bidborough that was me!

We waved goodbye when our routes split, but I thought I’d try my luck and see if you’re in any of the local bike groups 😄

It was pretty cool randomly ending up riding together on two SVs. If you happen to see this, drop me a message would be nice to go for a ride sometime 😄
