just pinch the upper lugs and push then forwards, the bottom is on 2 pins, just lifts out...

Just remember to put plenty of cardboard or similar down so you don't scratch the paint. Don't make the mistake I did!

If you are removing the grill from the bumper on a facelift its a bumper off job.

Be prepared to melt or cut off with a Stanley knife a number of melted plastic retaining lugs for the grill which are bonded to the bumper skin.

Yep, afraid the grille on the facelift at least is not a couple of lugs simple. But with patience and care a successful job can been done. Hot glue gun recommended.
