Have a look at the YouTube video in this thread, front bumper removal is not needed ;-)

you dont need to remove bumper use plastic bone there are a dozen plastic clips that need pushed in very easy job

They say its easy......but yet somehow I've never managed to get mine out. I'm opting for the easier route of removing the bumber. Although if you have a replacement one then just pull away at it.

The lugs on the old and new grilles are the same so just offer the new grill up towards the old and you will know exactly where the lugs are that you now need to dislodge.

As you dislodge a lug you will have to keep a bit of pulling pressure on the grille so the lug doesn't relocate. It should litterally be a few minute job. Just don't go wadding in with screwdrivers as you WILL most likely damage/scratch something.
