Darren M, It's pretty straight forward

I'd remove the front bumper

the gravel tray below the grill

the top latch panel

the 8 sheet metal screws with hex head, 4 on each end of the grille accessed under the front of the mudguards

loosen off the top mudguard bolts and maybe the guard stay / rods

you should then be able to wriggle, move the guards out away from the grill, JUST A LITTLE so you don't bend the guard where it is still fastened from inside the cabin along it's back edge

the grill should now be loose, as a complete component, carfully remove so as not to damage paint on guard lips
