Think you've posted this in the wrong section!
I'm sure a moderator will be along and move it for you where your question will get answered

You will have to take the front bumper off to be able to remove the grill

As Derek advises the front bumper will have to be removed to access the grille.

take off bumper. You'll see the plastic lugs retaining it (it;s pushed in from the front) Gently ease back and push whole grill forwards. Top tip - pour kettleful of water over it first to warm plastic and make more pliable
